The bid, under the theme ‘Together We Grow’, includes plans to host matches in 15 state-of-the-art stadiums across five cities: Riyadh, Jeddah, Khobar, Abha, and Neom.

Additionally, the futuristic Neom Stadium will be located on top of ‘The Line’ project and accessible only via high-speed lifts and driverless vehicles.
