A new private-sector sports development valued at up to SAR 1 billion is planned for Dammam in the Eastern Province. Known as Dammam Sports City, the project was presented as an investment opportunity during the Sports Investment Forum 2026, held in Riyadh.
The project was formally associated with a signed agreement in April 2026. Parties involved in the agreement include the Sharqia Development Authority, the Sports Investment Forum, Dammam Valley Company, and the وزارة الاستثمار.
What we know so far
At this stage, the development remains in its planning phase. No opening date, operating venues, construction schedule, or detailed site location within Dammam have been announced. Likewise, there is no confirmed information on public ticket prices or membership fees.
The Eastern Province is home to a large residential and expat community across cities such as Dammam and its neighbours. A sports-focused development of this scale, once completed, could expand recreational and fitness options for families and residents in the region.
For now, the announcement signals intent and investment interest rather than an operational facility. Residents interested in the project should wait for official updates before assuming any dates, prices, or services. سعودي ليفنج will share further details as they are confirmed.
