Mitchell Hall Published: 12:34, 28 Oct 2025 SAUDI ARABIA is set to build the world’s first ‘sky stadium’. https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sky-stadium.png https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/sky-2.png https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/out-of-this-world-cup-921571142-1.png https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/out-of-this-world-cup-921571135.png https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/out-of-this-world-cup-921571128.png The venue, currently being labelled the NEOM Stadium, is set to be built far above ground level and a new unofficial concept video has sparked a huge buzz on social media.
The AI generated images show a venue perched atop a SKYSCRAPER.
The stadium is expected to boast a capacity of 46,000 at an altitude of 350m above ground.
For comparison, that figure is 40m higher than the top of The Shard, Britain’s tallest building.
The new AI vision seems to be a new concept for one of a series of futuristic stadiums planned for construction ahead of Saudi Arabia‘s hosting of the 2034 World Cup. The nation released 15 concepts for high-tech stadiums to be completed before the tournament arrives in August of last year.
Among those was an idea for ‘NEOM Stadium,’ a ground set to be built atop the ambitious – and as yet unbuilt – NEOM ‘The Line’, an entire city meant to be built in a single long sideways skyscraper. The specifications in regard to height and capacity remain the same between the concepts.
However, the new visuals appear to have done away with the idea of building the ground on top of the linear city, and instead have the stadium above a more traditional skyscraper. The original plan was to begin construction on the stadium in 2027, and have it completed by 2032, ready to host games at the World Cup two years later.
Whether the new visuals mark a legitimate departure from the plan for the stadium is yet to be confirmed, with the buzz so far appearing to be primarily social media speculation based on the short video.
