Al-Ahli Saudi FC · Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
King Abdullah Sports City Stadium is a soccer venue located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with a seating capacity of 62,345. It is home to Al-Ahli Saudi FC, who compete in Saudi Pro League. King Abdullah Sports City Stadium is one of 15 venues in Saudi Arabia tracked on TurfNurd, and ranks 1st among Saudi Pro League stadiums by capacity.
If you're planning a sports pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, make your way about thirty kilometers north of downtown Jeddah to discover what's currently the kingdom's most impressive stadium. The King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, which you'll see marketed as Alinma Stadium thanks to its naming rights deal, rises from the desert landscape as the centerpiece of an entire sports complex. This isn't just any regional venue – it's the biggest football stage in Saudi Arabia, offering an atmosphere that captures the country's growing passion for the beautiful game. While renovations at Riyadh's King Fahd Sports City Stadium may eventually claim the capacity crown, for now this is where you'll find the most seats and some of the most electric match day experiences in the Gulf.
Getting there requires a bit of a journey from Jeddah's city center, so plan your transportation accordingly and give yourself plenty of time before kickoff. The stadium serves multiple purposes beyond football, so check the event calendar before you visit – you might catch anything from athletics competitions to major concerts. The sheer scale of the complex means you'll want to arrive early to soak in the atmosphere, grab some local food, and find your seat without rushing. It's become an essential stop for any serious football tourist exploring the evolving sports landscape of the Middle East.
