The master plan for King Salman Stadium includes several surrounding sports facilities over an area exceeding 360,000 square meters.

The stadium's design and its facilities are set for completion in the fourth quarter of 2029. They were selected from several submissions by six international companies that participated in offering the best ideas and designs that were chosen to meet FIFA's requirements and uphold standards of sustainability and architectural excellence.

King Salman Stadium and its facilities will cover an area exceeding 660,000 square meters, 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.

The final design, inspired by the mountainous terrain concept, integrates seamlessly with King Abdulaziz Park through a valley that intersects the surrounding green spaces.

The stadium's architectural design includes green walls and roofs spanning over 96,500 square meters, drawing inspiration from local architecture and meeting environmental sustainability and green building standards.
