Saudi Arabia plans to build 11 new stadiums as part of its bid to host the 2034 World Cup.
FIFA has unveiled Saudi Arabia’s formal bid book for the tournament, which outlines five proposed host cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar, Abha, and Neom—the futuristic urban area under construction on the coast of the Red Sea.
The country’s capital, Riyadh, will feature eight of the 15 stadiums used in the tournament. This includes the new King Salman Stadium, a 92,000-capacity venue set to host the opening game and the final, and become Saudi Arabia’s national stadium.
