Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – The New Murabba Development Company, a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has unveiled the design for the New Murabba Stadium, an architectural marvel set to accommodate over 45,000 spectators. This stadium will serve as a cornerstone of “New Murabba,” Riyadh’s transformative downtown destination.

“The New Murabba Stadium embodies our commitment to transforming Riyadh into a global destination for sports and entertainment,” says Michael Dyke, CEO of New Murabba Development Company. “The stadium will not only be a world-class venue for sporting events but also a vibrant community hub that enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors alike,” he adds. 

Inspired by the layered overlapping planes and textured surfaces of the native Acacia tree, the design of the Stadium symbolizes the fusion of tradition and innovation that defines New Murabba. 

Equipped with cutting-edge sporting technology, the stadium will offer an immersive and personalized experience for fans. Additionally, it will act as a vibrant community hub, featuring illuminated entry points and shaded spaces for social gatherings.

Strategically designed to foster community engagement, the New Murabba Stadium will be adaptable for a variety of events beyond sports, including gaming competitions and exhibitions. Its design maximizes long-term usability, ensuring it remains a dynamic space for diverse activities.

“The New Murabba Stadium is a symbol of Riyadh’s dynamic future. It demonstrates our commitment to delivering world-class infrastructure and experiences that will captivate both local communities and global audiences,” Dyke states.

The stadium is scheduled for completion by the end of 2032.
