The third tier is now largely formed, with concrete almost entirely poured across the upper sections, with only a small portion above the South Stand remaining unfinished.

The 46,000-capacity NEOM Stadium will be designed and constructed in partnership with Neom, the Saudi Ministry of Sport and the Public Investment Fund (PIF) with work set to begin in 2027 and conclude in 2032, two years before the World Cup kicks off. Presented as part of Saudi Arabia's 2034 World Cup bid book (p. 107), published by FIFA in November 2024, the Neom project was introduced as "the most unique stadium"

It was dedicated in 1961 by Arkansas representative Oren Harris as "a long, long dream come true," and "a symbol that a country can be as great as it is strong and healthy."
