Saudi Aramco kicks off construction of new stadium in Al Khobar

Saudi Aramco announced today, July 31, the start of construction of "Aramco Stadium", with an accomodating capacity of about 47,000 seats.

The new stadium will be built in Al Khobar and is poised for completion by 2026. It will be the main stadium for Al Qadisiyah Football Club, owned by Saudi Aramco, while also being one of the key host venues for the Asian Cup 2027, which will be hosted in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Aramco is working in cooperation with the Public Investment Fund (PIF)-owned ROSHN Group to equip the new facility with the latest global technologies and integrated cooling systems, creating an ideal environment for spectators.

The stadium bowl will be whirlpool-shaped, inspired by the watery spirals commonly seen on the coast of Al Khobar.
