Saudi Arabia plans to build 11 new stadiums for the 2034 World Cup if their bid is successful.
Saudi Arabia has unveiled its plan to build 11 new stadiums – including one 350 meters above ground in the undeveloped city of NEOM – as part of its bid to host the 2034 men's World Cup.
The country is aspiring to host the first World Cup tournament with 48 teams in five proposed host cities; Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Abha and NEOM.
In total, eight of the 15 stadiums used will be located in the capital Riyadh, including the new 92,000-seat King Salman Stadium that will host the opening and final of the tournament.
NEOM, for example, is perhaps the most intriguing of the premises. A futuristic city located on the Red Sea, the area is currently under construction, but eventually, it will be an 'inner city' made up of parallel skyscrapers.
It will also have a 46,000-seat stadium to be built 350 meters above the ground, with the city offering high-speed rail networks and advanced electric forms of transport.
In fact, the site, which is said to “run entirely on renewable energy, generated primarily from wind and solar sources,” will only be accessible by high-speed elevators and driverless vehicles.
" This new stadium will be the most unique in the world ," says the "Saudibid 2034" website.
" With a field located more than 350 meters above the ground and a roof created by the city itself, the stadium will be an experience like no other .
" After the tournament, it will be the home of a professional football club and the centerpiece of the city's sports and active lifestyle program ."
Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki bin Faisal Al Saud, who is Saudi Arabia's sports minister, has issued a statement on their offer.
" Together, we are working towards making Saudi Arabia's dream of hosting the World Cup a tangible reality - as described in our official bid book ," he said.
" These plans will combine our rich football heritage with our deep passion for the game and ensure Saudi Arabia's success as the first nation to host a 48-team tournament in one country ."
