King Salman Stadium and its facilities will cover an area exceeding 660,000 sqm, featuring a variety of amenities for different sports activities. The main stadium will have a seating capacity of 92,000, including a royal box with 150 seats, 120 hospitality suites, 300 VIP seats, and 2,200 seats for dignitaries.
