The stadium welcomed 78,000 fans last Friday to watch the Lusail Super Cup between Saudi side Al Hilal and Egyptian outfit Zamalek.

But the test event is believed to have been a shambles all round.

ESPN claim the stadium had run out of water by half-time, with supporters unable to access any inside or outside the ground.
