🚨 Exciting News 🚨 Inspired by the resilience of nature, designed for the future of sport—Introducing the King Abdullah Economic City Stadium.  🏟️ ⚽ We are proud to reveal our involvement in designing the King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) Stadium, a landmark project for the FIFA World Cup 2034™ in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this cutting-edge stadium will be a centrepiece of innovation, sustainability, and community legacy. The King Abdullah Economic City Stadium reflects the city’s vision for progress and balance. Inspired by the heat-resilient super-corals of the Red Sea, its design embraces organic forms, vibrant colours, and sustainable practices—an architectural homage to its unique environment. With a seating capacity of 45,700 and a masterplan spanning over 800,000 square meters, the project achieved a high score in the FIFA technical scoring for host stadiums. The design allows for innovative features such as:  ● A high-performance thermal façade designed to combat solar gain and reduce cooling demands.  ● Demountable tiers to enable diverse post-tournament uses, from concerts to Saudi Women’s Premier League matches. The stadium will serve not only as a world-class venue for global events but also as a hub for the community, seamlessly integrating retail, leisure, cultural, and residential spaces. Designed to achieve LEED Gold (or equivalent accreditation), it sets a new standard for sustainable infrastructure and legacy planning. 🌿🏅 As excitement builds for the FIFA World Cup 2034™, we celebrate the opportunity to contribute to shaping sustainable, future-ready venues on a global stage. 📍 To read more about the project, click here: https://lnkd.in/dD2AzN2R   #TeamAFL #ArchitectureForLife #Saudi2034 #GrowingTogether

I'm incredibly proud to share the launch of Dubai’s only full-size indoor football pitch at ISD Dubai Sports City Dome, home of LALIGA Academy Dubai Academy. This project not only sets a new benchmark for sports infrastructure but also aligns with a greater focus on athlete well-being—something particularly relevant as we mark #WorldMentalHealthDay. Physical activity plays a huge role in mental health, and having a safe, high-performance space to play is key. The GreenFields MX Elite system, a FIFA-certified surface made from 100% recyclable materials, ensures optimal playing conditions while also being environmentally responsible. We’ve also chosen natural cork infill over traditional crumb rubber to create a safer, healthier surface—especially important for younger athletes. As we move forward, our goal is to transition all pitches at ISD Dubai Sports City to hybrid, sustainable fields, promoting both physical and mental well-being through world-class facilities. Here's to creating environments where athletes can thrive, both physically and mentally. #WorldMentalHealthDay #SustainableSports #AthleteWellbeing #FootballForAll #MentalHealthMatters #SportsInfrastructure #SustainableInnovation #ISDDubaiSportsCity

Excited to share my latest book chapter "Building a Lasting Legacy: Beyond Qatar 2022" in the recently published book "The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar"! In this chapter, I explore the urban legacies of the 2022 World Cup and its impact on Doha's urban environment. Through extensive research, including analysis of official documents, expert interviews, and site visits, I examine the challenges and opportunities presented by mega-sporting events. Key findings: • Risks associated with using mega-events to drive massive construction plans • Potential for white elephants and unnecessary infrastructure • Importance of careful long-term legacy planning I also provide recommendations for more sustainable approaches to mega-event planning and post-event legacy management. https://lnkd.in/dzc66ybj #UrbanPlanning #Sustainability #MegaEvents #Qatar2022 #WorldCup #LegacyPlanning

Hosted as part of Riyadh Season, it showcased the potential for collaboration between the UK and Saudi Arabia, creating an unforgettable experience for fans worldwide. The impact of bringing Riyadh Season to the UK could be monumental, blending the excitement of world-class sports with cultural and entertainment elements that make Riyadh Season so unique. It's an opportunity to create immersive, multi-faceted events that appeal to both global and local audiences, unlocking new sponsorships, tourism, and cultural exchanges. This is just the beginning of what could be a transformative partnership between these two countries, expanding the reach of luxury, sports, and entertainment in a way that truly unites people!

This is long overdue: Thanks to the organizers of the first #InternationalMICESummit in Riyadh 🙏 and Kudos to the entire team! Truly amazing how #Scega made this event happen in only 3 months 🚀. It has been a privilege to speak at the event! 🎤 Some takeaways: 1. Riyadh appears to lead the world in construction activity, with its skyline dominated by high-rise cranes 🏗️. 2. Saudi Arabia stands out as the GCC country with the largest captive market, the highest population, and the strongest GDP 💰📊. 3. The country is shifting its focus away from hydrocarbons to diversify its economy 🌱. 4. The exhibition and conference industry is rapidly expanding 📅, with numerous international organizers introducing new events to the Kingdom 🌍. RX, Messe Munich, Clarion, Fiera Milano, Messe Dusseldorf and Koelnmesse have announced their market entry 🚢. We anticipate the exhibition industry will grow by at least 10% annually 📈 in the coming years, assuming adequate venue capacity is available 🏢. 5. While venue space remains limited 🚧, upcoming global events like the World Expo 🌐 and the FIFA World Cup ⚽ are expected to drive significant capacity expansions. 6. Although Riyadh will continue to be the primary hub for exhibitions and conferences 🏙️, all 13 regions of the Kingdom are actively prioritizing the development of this sector 🛠️, with new venues emerging across the country. 7. Saudi Arabia is poised to become the leading competitor to the UAE in the Middle East's exhibition and conference industry 🌟. 8. “The term MICE is a misconception” – Sherrif Karamat H.E.
