Saudi Arabia is embarking on an ambitious journey to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup, unveiling plans to construct 15 new stadiums across the Kingdom. Among these, the Neom Stadium stands out as a remarkable symbol of innovation and grandeur, set to be built in Neom, the nation’s most ambitious megaproject.
A Stadium Like No Other
The Neom Stadium will be an architectural marvel, situated within The Line, a futuristic city development in Neom. What makes this stadium truly unique is its placement on levels four and five of The Line, soaring 350 meters above the ground. With a seating capacity of over 45,000, the stadium will offer an array of seating options, including 4,000 hospitality seats, 1,200 skybox seats, 100 VVIP seats, and 800 VIP seats.
Unmatched Views and Experiences
Visitors to the Neom Stadium will not only enjoy world-class football but also breathtaking views of the Red Sea and the vast desert landscapes. The innovative design promises a viewing experience like no other, combining the thrill of the game with the beauty of nature.
A Hub for Sports and Culture
Beyond its primary function as a sports venue, the Neom Stadium is set to become a central hub for community and cultural activities. It will host both men’s and women’s professional football clubs and will be a venue for major events year-round.
Cutting-Edge Technology and Sustainability
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, from e-ticket gates to 4K Ultra HD broadcasting, the Neom Stadium will elevate the viewer experience to new heights. Moreover, the stadium will align with Saudi Arabia’s commitment to sustainability, operating entirely on renewable energy sourced from wind and solar power.
A Complete World Cup Experience
In addition to the Neom Stadium, The Line will feature a FIFA Fan Festival site, creating a vibrant atmosphere for fans to engage in tournament-related activities. Several other venues will be built nearby to accommodate the influx of visitors, making Neom a bustling hub of excitement during the World Cup.
