Riyadh Developers Reveal New 45,000-Seat Murabba Stadium
The ambitious project, projected to be completed by 2032, will transform the Saudi capital’s downtown.
The New Murabba Development Company — part of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) — has revealed its ambitious plans for a new state-of-the-art stadium for Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh.
With a capacity exceeding 45,000 spectators, the Murabba Stadium will transform the city’s landscape and become an international hub for sports, entertainment and culture.
Michael Dyke, Al Murabba CEO, underscored the stadium’s significance, explaining, “This new stadium embodies Riyadh’s evolution into a vibrant global hub. It underscores our commitment to developing world-class infrastructure that showcases Saudi Arabia’s ongoing transformation”.
The massive architectural project, earmarked for completion by the end of 2032, will be far more than a simple sports and event venue. Its innovative structure, inspired by the multi-layered, scaly bark of the acacia tree, represents the coming together of Saudi tradition and modern innovation. This design philosophy is part of an overriding vision for a completely new square in Riyadh’s downtown area.
The Murabba Stadium is designed to provide an unrivaled experience for sports fans and event goers, with multi-purpose configurations that allow concerts, gaming tournaments, exhibitions, and educational gatherings to be hosted.

The building is expected to play a vital role in boosting Riyadh’s tourist and consumer economy, and designers hope that the development will also help to further the Kingdom’s ambitious development goals and Vision 2030 strategy.
With its breathtaking design and multifunctional event-hosting capabilities, the Murabba Stadium is set to become an iconic Riyadh landmark, epitomizing the capital city’s aspirations and Saudi Arabia’s dynamic future as it diversifies away from an oil-based economy.
