About the project

King Salman Stadium is the Kingdom's planned new national stadium on King Salman Road in north Riyadh, beside King Abdulaziz Park. Designed by Populous, the bowl will seat more than 92,000, including a Royal Box and around 2,500 VIP and VVIP seats, wrapped in green walls with a rooftop walking path, and it is earmarked for the FIFA World Cup opening match and final. The roughly 660,000 square metre complex around it adds an Olympic aquatics centre, an athletics stadium, an indoor sports hall and a 9 kilometre track linking into King Abdulaziz Park. The Ministry of Sport has prequalified contractors for early works; no main contractor has been named.
