NEOM to
own football team
Saudi Arabia’s futuristic mega city NEOM plans to raise its own football
team.
The NEOM Football Club has been confirmed by chiefs, hoping that
a match against Barcelona would bring fans to The LINE.
The 170km vertical city will house numerous football stadiums.
Speaking about The LINE, executive director Giles Pendleton
said: “We’re not building this all at once, but it will be completed in phases
between now and 2045. So you don’t build all your stadiums in one go. You build
them to meet whatever population they serve.
Discussing the plans for an official NEOM club, he said: “If you’re on the 50th
floor and you want to go two kilometers to the stadium to watch the NEOM
Football Club play Barcelona, for instance, you would jump on one of the
various systems. It’ll either be 10 floors above you or 10 floors below that
you will be able to catch it.”
