Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium ^[a] is an under construction multi-purpose stadium located in Qiddiya City, Riyadh Province, Saudi Arabia. It is set to be a venue for the 2034 FIFA World Cup and has a proposed capacity of 46,979 seats. ^[1]

Overview

The stadium, named after Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, was announced on January 15, 2024. ^[2] Construction began later that year, with the official groundbreaking taking place on December 12, 2024. ^[3]

Situated within the Qiddiya City development, the stadium features a three-sided bowl that overlooks the Tuwaiq cliffs.
