King Abdullah Sports City Stadium – stadium description
The ground was built in Buraydah in 1983. Multi-purpose venue has an athletics track that is separated from the audience with deep moat – a rare sight in Saudi Arabia. All stands are concrete structures. Main grandstand stands independently and has partial cover, while the remaining sections are connected, creating a “C” shape.
