ROSHAN, one of the major real estate developers in Saudi Arabia, is set to raise a newly acquired stadium of enormous size in Southwest Riyadh. This was the breaking news on July 30, 2024, about the landmark stadium that will preferably offer much more to the city than just sports events.
How Big Is It?
• The stadium is to have 45,000 seats for watching games and shows.
• It will be huge, with a total area of 450,000 square meters, roughly the size of 84 football fields put together.
• Besides the stadium itself, there will be shops, restaurants, and places for people to stay.
What About its Appearance?
The designers want the stadium to look impressive in a very special way:
- It is to be of a modern, crystal-like shape, shining right in the sky.
- It draws inspiration from old buildings and the layout of cities in central Saudi Arabia. The roof is designed to let some sunlight in and provide air circulation so that inside temperatures remain comfortable.
Cool Features
• The stadium will be surrounded by pedestrian promenades and green areas.
• The stadium will glow and irrigate in smart ways.
• It will have built-in solar panels meant for generating pure electricity.
What’s It For?
• It can hold big international sporting events.
• It will also be used for music concerts, cultural programs, and community activities.
• The stadium is part of a plan to make Riyadh an even more exciting city to live in and visit.
When Will It Open?
The announcement didn’t give an exact opening date. Building such a big stadium takes time, so it might be a few years before it’s ready.
Saudi Arabia’s Big Sports Dreams
It’s worth noting—that Saudi Arabia is bidding to host the FIFA World Cup in 2034. This new stadium could be a key part of that bid, showing organizers that the country is ready for major international sporting events.
What People Are Saying
Dr. Khalid Johar, acting boss of ROSHN, explained: “We are very much proud of this mega-project. It’s going to make life much easier for people here in Riyadh and help more events come to Saudi Arabia. That is what our national plan, Saudi Vision 2030, has asked us to do—to grow and be the best.”
This is a giant step for Riyadh and Saudi Arabia; their initiative reveals how the country is very engrossed in becoming one of the significant venues for sports and entertainment worldwide.
