Saudi Arabia has unveiled their plan to build 11 new stadiums, including one 350 metres above ground level in the unbuilt city of NEOM as part of its bid to host the 2034 men’s World Cup.
One of the new stadiums would be in the futuristic city of Neom, built 350m in the air and serviced by driverless vehicles and high-speed lifts.
Eight of the venues will be in the capital, Riyadh, and four in the Gulf kingdom’s second city, Jeddah, according to the detailed plans published by Saudi Arabia’s 2034 bid for the 48-team tournament.

The arena, which is part of the country’s ‘The Line’ project to diversify the kingdom’s economy away from oil, is set to host a quarter-final fixture.
Saudi Arabia’s bid is uncontested and the country had until October’s deadline to submit its plans.
The 2034 World Cup will be the first time the expanded tournament is held in just one country as a 48-team event.
The hosts are set to be confirmed by the FIFA congress on 11 December.
