Design firm Populous revealed this week design renders of the sprawling venue which will be located in northern Riyadh on King Salman Road, adjacent to King Abdulaziz Park. They also detailed the stadium masterplan will include a variety of sports facilities, commercial areas and recreational facilities.
Populous said: “Inspiration for the design is drawn from Saudi Arabia’s mesmerizing natural landscape, with the symbolic concept of each venue within the masterplan representing a seed that germinates, cracks the earth and emerges as a dynamic yet seemingly natural intervention.
“The planting of these ‘seeds’ symbolizes Saudi Arabia’s commitment to nurturing and growing sports participation across the country, from the grassroots to the elite level.”

The main stadium will have a gross seating capacity of more than 92,000, with amenities including a Royal Box, hospitality skyboxes and lounges, 300 VVIP seats, and 2,200 VIP seats. The venue will feature internal screens, gardens and a walking path on its roof with panoramic views of King Abdulaziz Park.
A range of facilities will be incorporated into the wider masterplan development, including commercial facilities, football training fields, fan zones, an aquatics center with an Olympic-sized swimming pool and an athletics stadium.
Additionally, the development will feature an indoor sports hall and community sports park for sports such as volleyball, basketball and padel. A 9-kilometre sports track will connect these amenities to King Abdulaziz Park.
