The Madinah mayoralty has handed Saudi Aramco land to build a stadium in line with the directives of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah. Eleven other stadiums will be established in the Madinah region, Eastern Province, Northern Border Province, Hail, Tabuk, Al-Jouf, Baha, Najran, Jazan, Asir and Qassim.

The king has directed that the stadiums be constructed according to international standards along the lines of the King Abdullah Sports City (KASC) in Jeddah.

Khalid Abdulqadir, mayor of Madinah, said the site, covering an area of 2.7 million square meters, is located on the Madinah-Qassim Highway.

The site has been given to Saudi Aramco to issue all the necessary documents for the architectural plans and complete the other requirements for the project.
