Capacity change

The stadium's original capacity was 15,000 but it was expanded. Half of the project was completed by December 2006 and the stadium hosted the 18th Arabian Gulf Cup the next month.

Trivia

2019 AFC Asian Cup

Al-Jazira Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium hosted seven games for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, including a round of 16 match, a quarter-final match and a semi-final match.

In the semi-final match between Qatar and hosts the United Arab Emirates, the UAE supporters threw bottles and footwear onto the pitch. This conduct was preceded by the UAE fans booing the Qatari national anthem. Qatar won 4–0 despite the situation, reaching their first Asian Cup final.
