The Qiddiya Coast Stadium will be a new stadium with a capacity of more than 45,000. It is designed as a physical representation of the vibrant relationship between people and water, energy and matter, with its design also evoking the ripple effect of a “Mexican wave.” Its form undulates; its vibrant color palette is rich and joyful. It will be located in the northern part of Jeddah on the shore of the Red Sea. The stadium will be situated at the heart of the Qiddiya Coast Development, with other sporting infrastructure and hotels within a 1km distance. The surrounding precinct will be composed of distinct spaces that flow alongside and into one another, providing ample space for supporters and communities to congregate outside of the stadium.
After the FIFA World Cup 2034, the stadium’s flexible configuration means it will serve as a versatile and dynamic multipurpose entertainment venue. The design allows for the removal of the upper tier for legacy purposes, leaving a 25,000-capacity venue. Curtains, partitions, and the removable football pitch will allow the facility to host leading esports events, exhibitions, concerts, and conferences, as well as major sports tournaments.
