The Saudi capital will take center stage in global sports infrastructure next year, with Riyadh set to host the second edition of the World Stadiums and Arenas Summit on 14–15 October 2026. The event will be held at the Hilton Riyadh Hotel & Residences on Eastern Ring Road in Al Shohada District.
The summit brings together specialists focused on the design, development, and operation of sports venues. Its program covers a broad range of themes, including sports infrastructure, stadium and arena development, venue operations, investment opportunities, innovation, and sustainability.
The gathering forms part of the wider World Sport 360 Summit program, which also features the Athlete 360 track. Together, these strands aim to connect the different sides of the sports industry, from the people who build and run venues to those who perform in them.
Why it matters for the community
Hosting an international summit of this scale reflects Riyadh's growing role as a destination for major sports and business events.
