Saudi Arabia to build stadium in the sky accommodating 46,000 spectators
Saudi Arabia is setting its sights on another
world first with plans for the NEOM
Sky Stadium—a revolutionary sports venue envisioned to be suspended more than
1,100 feet above ground. Designed as part of The Line,
NEOM’s linear smart city, the project aims to become a global symbol of innovation,
sustainability, and engineering excellence.
A new era for sports
architecture
According to early reports, the NEOM Stadium
will accommodate around 46,000 spectators and operate entirely on renewable
energy, powered by solar and wind systems integrated into The Line’s
infrastructure. If realized, it will set new standards for eco-conscious sports
venues, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s push toward sustainable mega projects
under Vision 2030.

Arabia to build elevated stadium for 2034 World Cup
Construction is reportedly slated to begin in
2027, with completion targeted for 2032—strategically timed to coincide with
the Kingdom’s 2034 FIFA World Cup
ambitions. The stadium’s elevated design will make it one of the most
distinctive arenas ever built, offering panoramic views of NEOM’s futuristic
cityscape.
Engineering ambition
meets visionary design
The Sky Stadium’s proposed structure—suspended
high above the desert landscape—reflects NEOM’s commitment to redefining urban
development through advanced technology and precision engineering. Beyond its
architectural spectacle, the facility is expected to incorporate cutting-edge smart
systems for crowd management, immersive fan experiences, and energy
optimization.
While the concept has drawn global attention,
experts continue to discuss the technical feasibility and logistical complexity
of executing such a bold vision within the proposed timeline.
A key pillar in
NEOM’s $500 billion vision
Backed by the Public Investment Fund (PIF)
and international partners, NEOM represents a $500 billion initiative to build
a next-generation region powered by technology, sustainability, and innovation.
The Sky Stadium will add a new dimension to NEOM’s evolving identity—merging sports,
architecture, and sustainability into one landmark development.
