It was then to host three friendly matches until the 2022 World Cup,[12] but as the completion of the stadium was postponed, it will subsequently host 10 games including the final.[13] On 9 September 2022, before the World Cup, the Lusail Super Cup, a tournament that will serve as a rehearsal for the World Cup finals, will be held between the two teams of Al Hilal, the 2021-22 Saudi Arabian champion, and Zamalek, the 2021-22 Egyptian champion.
