The Saudi Arabian government is arranging for Cristiano Ronaldoās Al-Nassr to relocate into a brand-new stadium with a capacity of 45,000 spectators.
The team from Riyadh presently plays in Al-Awwal Park, which can hold a maximum of 25,000 people.
Above the stadium, which would be constructed atop a 200-meter cliff, will be a man-made lake.
Populous, the architectural group behind the construction of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, will design the stadium.
Through the Qiddiya Investment Company, the Saudi Public Investment Fund is funding the building.
The futuristic venue aspires to revolutionize the traditional stadium concept, according to the announcement of the plans.
āThe lake will use rainwater capture from the stadium and the surrounding area to precool the air conditioning system.ā
Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, the neighbors of Riyadh, will share the stadium.
