At the core of The Line in Saudi Arabia, a suspended stadium powered entirely by renewable energy is set to be constructed. Named Neom Stadium, it will be among the fifteen venues hosting the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
Recently, social media has showcased videos and renderings depicting a stadium atop a futuristic skyscraper, suspended above a desert metropolis intersected by illuminated highways. These images supposedly represent Neom Stadium, the arena planned for the Saudi city of Neom, situated north of the Red Sea and east of Egypt, designated as a host for the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
However, these visuals do not correspond to the official plans. Despite this, the project detailed in the Saudi Arabia FIFA World Cup 2034 Bid Book remains highly innovative and ambitious.
Neom Stadium is a flagship component of The Line, a revolutionary 500-meter-high linear city designed under Saudi Vision 2030—Saudi Arabia's comprehensive long-term strategy for sustainable infrastructure development.
"Developed within the framework of Saudi Vision 2030, the Neom Stadium represents the flagship project of The Line, a 500-meter-high linear city powered entirely by renewable energy and organized on five levels."
This project highlights a unique blend of futuristic urban planning and sustainability, aiming to redefine the concept of a sports venue and urban living.
Neom Stadium is a pioneering, sustainable World Cup venue central to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 plan, redefining urban and sports infrastructure within a futuristic linear city.
