Qiddiya Stadium reflects Saudi vision and the future
Construction is officially underway on the
Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium in Qiddiya, marking a defining moment for
the entertainment megaproject just southwest of Riyadh. As of May 2025, this
milestone positions Qiddiya as a cornerstone in Saudi Arabia’s transformation
into a regional powerhouse for sports, culture, and entertainment.

Stadium or simply, Qiddiya Stadium. As part of the Qiddiya Investment Company’s
ambitious master plan, the venue will serve as a central hub for local and
international sports events, setting the stage for Qiddiya’s emergence as a
global destination.
