New Murabba Stadium (Arabic: ملعب المربَّع, romanized: maleabʿ al-Murabba) is a planned multi-purpose stadium within the New Murabba Project, a real estate development, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It is set to be a venue for the 2034 FIFA World Cup and has a proposed capacity of 46,010 people, where it will host fixtures in the group stage and round of 32.[1]
Description
[edit]Construction
[edit]Construction on the stadium will begin in 2027 and its opening will take place in 2032.
The stadium's design is inspired by the layered overlapping planes and textured peeling bark of the native acacia tree. It will incorporate cutting-edge sporting venue technology to deliver a highly personalized fan experience, including digital signage and customizable experiential zones. Situated in northwest Riyadh, the stadium will be fully accessible and welcoming to the local community. Illuminated fractures will serve as inviting entry points, guiding visitors into shaded areas at ground level. Additionally, the roof's design will create sheltered spaces for social interaction and movement.[1]
Post-2034
[edit]After the World Cup, the stadium’s design will prioritize long-term flexibility, with adaptable spaces capable of hosting concerts, gaming, and various entertainment events. Additionally, the surrounding external shaded areas will foster vibrant city life, offering opportunities for outdoor seating and dining, enhancing the overall experience for visitors.[1][2]
