Overview
- ESPN, talkSPORT and Designboom report the skyscraper-top stadium videos are AI or fan-made and not official designs.
- Bid documents list a NEOM stadium integrated within The Line’s fourth and fifth levels, placing it about 350 metres above ground rather than atop a single tower.
- The venue’s proposed capacity is about 46,000, with NEOM, the Ministry of Sport and the Public Investment Fund named as delivery partners.
- Planners describe a renewable-powered facility and post-tournament use for a NEOM-based club, though detailed, finalized designs have not been released.
- The project is one of 15 proposed Saudi World Cup stadiums, alongside the 92,760-seat King Salman International Stadium in Riyadh, and faces open questions on access, safety and broader NEOM delivery risks.
