King Khalid Sport City Stadium, football stadium in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia
King Khalid Sport City Stadium is a football stadium in Tabuk with a natural grass pitch and covered seating for spectators and VIPs, sheltering them from the sun. Its 12,000 seats look onto the pitch, and the athletes' and administration facilities occupy the ground floor, with press and commentary rooms at the top of the main stand.
The King Khalid Sports City stadium in Tabuk was established in 1985 (1407 AH) as part of a programme of sports cities built across Saudi Arabia's regions. On 21–23 September 2018 it hosted National Day 88 events organised by the General Sports Authority with the Saudi Federation for Community Sports, running from 4 pm to midnight.
The sports city serves six regional clubs: Al-Watani and Neom in Tabuk, Al-Khalidi in Al-Wajh, Al-Hawra in Umluj, Duba and Tayma. Its theatre seats 500 for plays and film screenings at cultural events, and the mosque holds 500 worshippers.
The stadium is part of a larger sports city that also holds a 500-seat theatre, a 25 by 13 metre swimming pool with a 300-seat stand, a youth house, two glass-backed squash courts, open courts for volleyball, basketball, handball and tennis, and a mosque for 500 worshippers. The administration building stands at the centre of the complex and oversees all facilities.
The stadium is one of several sports cities built across Saudi Arabia's regions; the Tabuk complex was completed in 1985 (1407 AH). Its 12,000-seat football ground is shielded from the sun for both ordinary spectators and VIPs, and the pitch is sown with natural Bermuda grass.
