Aramco Studiom, Saudi Arabia

Global architecture studio Populous has unveiled its plans for Aramco Stadium, a 47,000-seat sports venue in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Set to host the upcoming 2027 AFC Asian Cup and the 2034 FIFA World Cup, the new venue will be compliant with international standards for premier football competitions. Aramco Stadium's spiralling exterior will be formed of overlapping panels, which Populous said is modelled on "the graceful rotation of waves and the spiral motifs commonly found in nature". The façade is created by overlapping translucent sails that allow for natural light to enter the interior spaces.

 

 

 

 

 

The Aramco Stadium and its surrounding masterplan, spanning approximately 800,000 square meters, are designed as a coherent sporting and entertainment venue. Beyond the stadium, the master plan includes community amenities, new sports facilities, leisure areas, and public spaces. Additionally, a sports training center with two football pitches is included to support athlete development. For sporting events, it will accommodate 47,000 spectators, but this could be increased to 55,000 for other events such as music concerts.
