Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City, stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
Prince Abdullah Al Faisal Sports City is a football stadium complex in southeastern Jeddah, between King Abdulaziz University and the Al Waziriah industrial district, bounded by the Jeddah–Makkah expressway and Stadium Street. Its pitch is ringed by a running track, with a covered, fully seated west stand holding an enclosed VIP box and media suites, and an arch-shaped terraced east stand curving along the track. Two white cable-supported canopy roofs cover the side stands, and a single large scoreboard stands at the northern edge of the east stand.
Built in 1970 in southeast Jeddah, between King Abdulaziz University and the Al Waziriah industrial district, the stadium held about 27,000 spectators. Its capacity was cut to 20,000 in 2009 by removing non-seating places. It reopened on 1 October 2021 with the Jeddah derby between Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli, and in November 2023 the Ministry of Sport renamed it a sports city.
