Aramco Stadium: New details on a comprehensive sports and entertainment destination in Khobar

The Aramco Stadium project in Khobar has revealed details of a comprehensive sports and entertainment facility aimed at providing a unique experience for fans and visitors, featuring modern amenities and diverse services that go beyond hosting matches.

The stadium has a capacity of approximately 47,000 spectators and features around 54,000 air conditioning vents, along with a world-class pitch and seats equipped with cup holders for each fan, ensuring comfort for attendees during matches and events.

In terms of organization, the stadium has 15 gates for fans and more than 8 entrances for vehicles, along with approximately 9,000 parking spaces, including designated areas for charging electric vehicles, as well as 1,800 surveillance cameras supported by artificial intelligence.

The project extends beyond the stands to include restaurants, cafes, and hospitality areas, along with a space for events and recreational activities, making these facilities available to the public throughout the week, not just during matches.

The outdoor areas include sports tracks, padel courts, basketball and volleyball courts, as well as gardens and open green spaces available daily, providing a suitable space for family and community activities and exercising.

The plan includes suspended bridges connecting several neighborhoods in Khobar, aiming to facilitate access to the stadium and surrounding facilities, and improve mobility, as part of a vision to transform the venue into a hub that combines sports, entertainment, and shopping.

The Aramco Stadium is set to enhance the sports infrastructure in the Eastern Province, hosting Al-Qadisiyah matches and various events, while also being included among the facilities nominated to host the AFC Asian Cup 2027 and the FIFA World Cup 2034.
