11 new spectacular stadiums

Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans to build 11 brand new stadiums and revamp four existing ones in its ambitious drive to host the FIFA World Cup in 10 years’ time. Boasting capacities ranging from 45,000 to 92,000-plus spectators, each of these arenas is spectacular and unique in its own way.

Saudi Arabia has unveiled an ambitious vision to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup, centered around the construction of 11 state-of-the-art stadiums and the revamp of four existing venues. This sweeping initiative will span five dynamic host cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Abha, and the ground-breaking Neom megacity.

At the heart of the bid is Riyadh, where eight new stadiums, including the 92,000-seat King Salman Stadium, are poised to make a global statement. From the historic influence on Jeddah’s Central Development Stadium to the Arabian Gulf-inspired Aramco Stadium in Al Khobar, each venue will be a testament to the kingdom’s cultural heritage and forward-looking aspirations.

King Salman Stadium, earmarked for the opening and final matches, along with the architecturally striking Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium in Qiddiya, will form the core of the capital’s World Cup infrastructure.

Riyadh will also host two stadiums which are yet to be officially unveiled – the Prince Faisal Bin Fahad Sports City Stadium and South Riyadh Stadium, with a capacity of 46,000 and 47,000 seats respectively and echoing the Salmani architectural style.
