Roshn has announced that it has collaborated with Aramco to build a 47,000-seat stadium at Al Khobar in the Eastern Region.
The new Aramco Stadium will boast state-of-the-art amenities, conforming to the highest standards to ensure inclusiveness, safety, and sustainability. The venue itself is set to be a leading national sports and entertainment destination.
Set to be operational by 2026, the stadium will host both national and international events, including the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, due to be hosted by Saudi Arabia.
According to Roshn, the new facility’s design is influenced by the behaviour of the sea in the Arabian Gulf, where whirlpools regularly occur off the coast.
Promoting sport is central to The Quality-of-Life Program within Saudi Vision 2030, with initiatives such as the Aramco Stadium set to boost mass participation, improve the country’s performance in international competitions, and grow the sports economy.
