Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium

Built on top of a 200-metre cliff, the Prince Mohammed Bin Salman Stadium looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Bringing together the very latest advancements in live sports and entertainment technology, Populous is turning a futuristic dream into tangible reality and creating a venue unlike any other on earth.

Perched on top of the breathtaking 200-meter-high Tuwaiq cliff looking down over Qiddiya City, this futuristic venue is set to completely revolutionize the traditional stadium experience with its jaw-dropping immersive environments and unmatched technological advancements.

The stadium will be the world’s first fully integrated venue with a combined retractable roof, pitch and LED wall — an architectural innovation offering unparalleled versatility. The space will transform into different ‘event modes’ in a matter of hours, while the LED wall will be a portal to live event broadcasts, high-definition films and laser shows. When it isn’t activated, it will open to reveal breathtaking views of Qiddiya City below.

Guests will be able to enjoy multiple spectacles in a single day, including football, boxing, esports, concerts and theater performances. As a central venue in an urban entertainment district, this uniquely versatile space promises an extended play experience with direct and convenient access to Qiddiya City’s vibrant Gaming & Esport District, as well as other city entertainment options. Integrated into the city fabric through a variety of transportation choices including park ’n ride and drop-off zones, the stadium is also within direct proximity to shopping, dining and entertainment spaces as well as luxury hotel options.

The 45,000-seat multifunctional stadium is fully compliant with FIFA requirements for club and international competition. Once open, it will serve as the home ground of Saudi Pro League football clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr and features in the bid book for the FIFA World Cup 2034 for hosting the quarter-final and 3rd place playoffs. It is also poised to host some of the region’s biggest sports events, including the Saudi King Cup, the Asian Cup and possibly the 2034 Asian Games.
