This futuristic stadium will rise 350 meters above the desert within The Line, the kingdom’s ultramodern linear megacity, positioning it as one of the tallest and most innovative sporting structures globally.

Powered entirely by renewable wind and solar energy, the stadium embodies Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions to drive sustainability, innovation, and economic diversification.

Construction is slated to begin in 2027 and finish by 2032.

The design includes high-speed rail access and internal vertical transport systems to ensure smooth mobility and protect the surrounding fragile desert ecosystem.

Saudi officials highlight the NEOM Stadium as a symbol of the country’s expanding influence in international sports and its leadership in sustainable architecture. #fifa #worldcup
