The unnamed 40-year-old man died on Thursday working at Khalifa International Stadium, which is due to stage games up to the quarter-final stage in 2022.
A statement from Qatar said: 'The relevant authorities have been notified and the next of kin has been informed. 'An immediate investigation into the cause of this fatality is underway and further details will be released in due course.
'The Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy shares our deepest condolences with the family for their loss.'
The Khalifa stadium is due for competition at the beginning of this year, according to Qatari organisers.
The project to renovate the stadium, which is described by organizers as 'Qatar's most historic stadium,' is being supervised by Belgium company Besix in partnership with local company Midmac Contracting.
There was no immediate comment from Besix.
