Outdoor courts for volleyball, basketball, and padel will also be available, catering to various sports activities for all age groups. All these facilities will be connected by a 9-kilometer sports trail around King Abdulaziz Park.
The stadium's design and its facilities, set for completion in the fourth quarter of 2029, were selected from several submissions by six international companies.
These designs were chosen to meet FIFA's requirements and uphold standards of sustainability and architectural excellence.
The final design, inspired by the mountainous terrain concept, integrates seamlessly with King Abdulaziz Park through a valley that intersects the surrounding green spaces.
The stadium's architectural design includes green walls and roofs spanning over 96,500 square meters, drawing inspiration from local architecture and meeting environmental sustainability and green building standards.
This iconic sports architectural landmark will be well-equipped to host major local and international entertainment events, enhancing the quality of life in Riyadh and boosting the city's global ranking as one of the world's most livable cities.
