wants to redefine the FIFA landscape in 2034 by hosting the 48-team tournament.

After securing the highest bid rating in World Cup history, the Kingdom is itching to showcase 15 state-of-the-art across five cities. Eleven of those stadiums will be newly built.

Saudi Arabia’s World Cup vision looks grand, from the majestic 92,000-seat King Salman International Stadium in Riyadh to the futuristic, innovative design of the elevated stadium in Neom. Neom, by the way, is a new city northwest of the country that has yet to be constructed. Let’s examine the transformative to-be-built stadiums slated to be done in 2032.

King Salman International Stadium (Capacity: 92,000)

There are no surprises here. The tournament’s jewel 92,000-capacity King Salman International Stadium in Riyadh will kick off the World Cup and host the finals. Based on the renderings, designers want the mammoth futuristic-looking stadium to blend into its surroundings. It looks like a blooming flower.

Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium (Capacity: 47,000)

The Prince Mohammed bin Salman Stadium, aptly named after the crown prince, will be built 650 feet atop the Tawiq mountain, 40 minutes outside Riyadh.

Based on the promotional video, the cliff-hanging 47,000-capacity stadium appears to be a multifunctional space for other entertainment events like Taylor Swift concerts (never know) and Esports events. There are plans to be a retractable roof on top of the LED-cubed-looking stadium with a giant opening that peers over the cliff. Jerry Jones, take notes.

NEOM Stadium (Capacity: 46,000)

NEOM Stadium will be one of a kind. The cyberpunk dystopia venue will seat 46,000 human aliens 1,200 feet above the ground in Saudi Arabia’s newest car-free cities. The city is nonexistent but will miraculously appear in ten years: elevated platforms, skywalks, rooftop areas, etc. The only way to get to the stadium, and city for that matter, will be a high-speed elevator shaft.

Murabba Stadium (Capacity: 46,000)

The new Murabba Stadium in the northwest of Riyadh looks fascinating. The design draws inspiration from the bark of an Acacia tree. Based on the renderings, it’ll take center stage to the rock formations towering aside it. The new stadium intends to host the group stage and round of 16 matches and is part of a larger effort to rebuild downtown. As the area is already a traffic nightmare, those Tesla driverless cabs will be helpful for game time.

Roshn Stadium (Capacity: 46,000)

Another 46,000-capacity stadium that sets Roshn Stadium apart is its modern crystalline architecture, inspired by the country’s central region. The Kingdom’s center region is known for its traditional geometric motifs, often seen in the decorative art of Najdi architecture. Like all the new stadiums, Roshn will adopt top-notch water and energy management technologies to ensure a smooth environment for visiting fans. The broader project also includes nearby shops and restaurants for .
