Saudi Real Estate Giant ROSHN Kicks Off Tender Process for 'National Guard Stadium' in Riyadh

Saudi Arabia's leading real estate developer, ROSHN, has initiated the first stage of the tender process for a monumental stadium project located next to the National Guard facilities in southwestern Riyadh. This stadium, designed to accommodate up to 46,000 spectators, is a key part of the country's ambitious preparations for the 2034 FIFA World Cup, with Saudi Arabia's position as the host nation nearly confirmed.

The prequalification notice for the contract was issued by the Italian Trade & Investment Agency, with submissions due by October 22. This marks the beginning of a significant infrastructure development initiative, aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals.

The stadium, set to cover over 450,000 square meters, will not only serve as a major venue for the World Cup but will also feature cutting-edge sustainable design elements, such as solar panels and systems for efficient water and energy management. Plans for the facility also include additional spaces such as training academy offices, two hotels, and retail and dining outlets, all designed to enhance the overall experience for visitors and players alike.

As part of Saudi Arabia's broader plan to establish itself as a global sports destination, this new stadium is just one component of a larger infrastructure initiative that includes the development of 11 new stadiums across the nation, including eight in Riyadh and additional venues in cities like Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Abha, and Neom. The bid also encompasses 134 training sites spread across 15 cities, ensuring widespread regional engagement during the World Cup.

With Saudi Arabia's bid officially launched last year and Australia's withdrawal from the competition, the Kingdom��s hosting of the 2034 World Cup is expected to be officially confirmed by FIFA on December 11 during an online congress.

This massive project, spearheaded by ROSHN and supported by the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF), will play a pivotal role in enhancing the Kingdom's sports infrastructure as part of its Vision 2030 strategy to elevate Saudi Arabia’s profile on the global stage.

nothing says innocence like the head of your organization turning off all comments & tags after a jerryrigged vote that occurred faster than any world cup vote in history has, and an unprecedented, incredibly stupid 3-continent tournament the year prior to eliminate all other continents as options, fabricating the conditions for saudi arabia to host the 2034 world cup from scratch

saudi arabia was the only country aware of the opening of the bidding process for the 2034 cycle. they were made aware of it, and all requirements and regulations and advantages, before anyone else was. it’s agonizingly obvious that this was not a fair vote, nor was it a process that ever had any other host in mind. the decision was made years ago

don’t ever let FIFA pull the ‘football is for the fans’ bullshit. they run on blood money, whether it’s permitting a genocidal regime to continue playing in UEFA (despite not being in europe), putting games in American stadiums that are notorious for poor transportation, poor fields and poor facilities in order to suck as much money out of fans as possible, having votes bought by Russia, and then Qatar, and now Saudi Arabia— football is no longer for the fans. it is a sport run by greed and corruption, because the federation meant to be the bastion of fairness for the ‘world’s game’ is now more of an auction for votes.

no independent human rights agency was allowed to work in KSA in relation to the bidding process.

looking at the existing Kafala system & forced labor systems already in place in Saudi Arabia, their torture of prisoners for the most menial of ‘crimes,’ and their clear disregard of the rights of workers, queer people, foreign nationals, and women’s rights activists.

but hey— who needs human rights? who needs fairness? who even really cares about the people in Yemen being bombed regularly, whilst the people bombing them get to flaunt how cool and modern they are with shiny stadiums and cool advertisements? who cares about the foreign citizens being held in Saudi prisons awaiting execution, or the ones who have already been executed? let’s just play footy amirite 🤪

Saudi Arabia: Flawed Assessment of World Cup Bid

Law Firm at Risk of Being Linked to Abuses

(New York) – A flawed human rights assessment of Saudi Arabia’s FIFA 2034 World Cup bid by AS&H Clifford Chance, part of the global partnership of London-based law firm Clifford Chance, leaves the global firm at risk of being linked to abuses which result from the tournament, 11 organizations, including Human Rights Watch, said today.

AS&H Clifford Chance, which is based in Riyadh and sits within Clifford Chance’s integrated global partnership, produced an “independent human rights context assessment” that was published by FIFA. The assessment has helped pave the way for Saudi Arabia to be confirmed as 2034 hosts on December 11, 2034. But it contains no substantive discussion of extensive and relevant abuses in Saudi Arabia, documented by multiple human rights organizations and UN bodies, and has formed the basis of Saudi Arabia’s human rights strategy for the tournament, which was described by Amnesty International as a “whitewash.”

The 11 organizations, which include a Saudi Arabian diaspora organization, Gulf human rights groups, and labor organizations, as well as Football Supporters Europe, Amnesty International, and Human Rights Watch, wrote to Clifford Chance’s Global Managing Partner, setting out in detail all the concerns in a statement and inviting the authors to publish an updated report. The firm, which says that it works in partnership with “some of the world’s leading NGOs and civil society organizations,” said in response that it would be “inappropriate” to offer any further comment on the report and shared a link to publicly available company policies.

“It has been clear for more than a year now that FIFA is determined to remove all potential obstacles to make sure it can hand Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman the 2034 World Cup,” said James Lynch, co-director of the FairSquare human rights organization, which led the joint approach to the law firm. “By producing a shockingly poor report, AS&H Clifford Chance, part of one of the world’s largest law firms that makes much of its human rights expertise, has helped to remove a key final stumbling block

saudi confirmed as the hosts for the 2034 world cup... fifa once again confirming they care more about money than people

[elishamanning]

looking past inevitable 2034 world cup in saudi arabia, who hosts in 2038? asia, europe, africa, and south america would be prevented under current rules. i don’t think anywhere in oceania even comes close to meeting the criteria to host a world cup, even if they bid as a collective. north america would be eligible again, but with usa/mexico/canada having just hosted in 2026, there also wouldn’t really be any “new” countries available to host without MAJOR stadium investments.

so would some combination of canada/usa/mexico host again 12 years later in 2038? or is this just going to pave the way for fifa abandoning the 12-year restriction on confederations hosting world cups?

[probayern]

Why can't south america bid? what rules? what's going on???

currently when a country from a certain federation (like uefa [europe], conmebol [south america], caf [africa]) hosts the world cup, no other country from that federation can host the next two world cups. for example, since qatar hosted in 2022, no member of the asian federation could host 2026 or 2030. or since russia hosted 2018, no uefa member could host 2022 or 2026

so as a result, since north america is hosting 2026 and countries from europe, africa, AND south america are hosting 2030, only countries from asia and oceania will be eligible to bid for 2034. i assume the bids for 2034 will be saudi arabia and australia, who are both (as @elishamanning reminded me) members of the asian federation. no matter which one gets it (cough probably saudi), 2038 will be interesting because then only north america and oceania will be able to bid, and there's not really an obvious country in there who could feasibly host besides the us, canada, or mexico, who are all hosting in 2026 and therefore probably won't want to do it again. tldr expect fifa to change their own rules when it is convenient for them (after 2034 has already been awarded to saudi)
