Inspired by the layered overlapping planes and peeling planar texture of the native Acacia tree, the stadium’s design is a testament to a fusion of tradition and innovation.
The stadium will feature cutting-edge sporting technology, creating an immersive and personalised fan experience.
The stadium will be a vibrant community hub featuring illuminated entry points and shaded spaces for gathering and socialising.

Michael Dyke, CEO of New Murabba Development Company, said: “The New Murabba Stadium embodies our commitment to transforming Riyadh into a global destination for sports and entertainment.
“The stadium will not only be a world-class venue for sporting events but also a vibrant community hub that enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors alike.”
The stadium is strategically positioned to enhance community engagement. Its design maximises long-term usability, allowing it to be adapted to host a wide range of events beyond sports, gaming competitions, and exhibitions.

The stadium is “a symbol of Riyadh’s dynamic future. It demonstrates our commitment to delivering world-class infrastructure and experiences that will captivate both local communities and global audiences,” said Dyke.
With completion anticipated by the end of 2032, this venue promises to become a symbol of Riyadh’s transformation, attracting tourists, fostering community spirit, and solidifying Saudi Arabia’s position as a leader in sports and entertainment.
