New Murabba Development Company – a unit of Saudi sovereign wealth fund Public Investment Fund (PIF) – has unveiled the design of New Murabba Stadium, an architectural marvel with a capacity of over 45,000 spectators.

The stadium will be a central pillar of New Murabba, the transformative downtown destination in Riyadh City.

Inspired by the layered overlapping planes and peeling planar texture of the native Acacia tree, the New Murabba Stadium’s design is a testament to the fusion of tradition and innovation that defines New Murabba.

The stadium will feature cutting-edge sporting technology, creating an immersive and personalised fan experience. “The New Murabba Stadium embodies our commitment to transforming Riyadh into a global destination for sports and entertainment,” said 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.”

The New Murabba Stadium is strategically positioned to enhance community engagement. Its design maximises long-term usability, allowing it to be adapted to host a wide range of events beyond sports, gaming competitions, and exhibitions.

The stadium is expected to be  completed by the end of 2032.
