Saudi Arabia is set to host a groundbreaking sports stadium in the heart of the desert. Located in Riyadh, the King Salman Stadium will be among the largest in the world when completed in late 2029. Moreover, this project aims to position Saudi Arabia as a global leader in both sports and architectural innovation.

A Symbol of Growth and Sustainability

Designed to resemble a seed germinating in the desert, the stadium symbolizes the nation’s commitment to fostering sports participation across the country. Notably, its features include expansive circular sections, green walls, and a rooftop garden with walking paths, creating a striking contrast to Riyadh’s arid landscape.

A Multi-Functional Sports Hub

In addition to its unique design, the venue will boast gardens, climbing walls, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a secondary athletics stadium, and a running track winding through a nearby park. Furthermore, it will serve as the headquarters for the national soccer team and host the final match of the 2034 FIFA World Cup.

Cutting-Edge Amenities and Technology
With over 92,000 seats, the stadium will offer state-of-the-art amenities, including a royal box, luxury suites, skyboxes, a lounge, 300 VVIP seats, and 2,200 VIP seats. To enhance the visitor experience, advanced technology will ensure comfort as well as enjoyment for all.

This ambitious initiative is part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, aimed at transforming the country into a global hub for sports and entertainment. Ultimately, the King Salman Stadium represents a significant milestone in achieving this vision.
