Ninety minutes. Built for decades.
Welcome to the Sport City — bowls that hold a nation’s roar, arenas that turn light into ceremony, and the grounds where champions are made. The House of Ci builds where the game lives.
The Sport City · kickoff at nine sharp
The solution
A stadium is a city that fills in an hour.
Cedrus International® approaches sports architecture as civic engineering: sixty thousand seats that empty in minutes, sightlines drawn to the centimetre, shade and cooling for a desert summer, acoustics tuned so the roar lands like weather. A venue must win twice — on matchday, and on the 340 days between.
And with the 2034 FIFA World Cup coming to Saudi Arabia, the region enters the largest stadium-building decade on Earth. One house — masterplanners, engineers, interior architects and show-makers — delivers venue, hospitality, fan precinct and ceremony together.

Room I · The Bowl
Every arena the Kingdom will cheer in.
From a ninety-thousand-seat national bowl to the academy hall where a ten-year-old first hears applause.
Stadiums & grand bowls
National icons with cable roofs, cooled terraces and skyline presence.
Arenas & indoor halls
Basketball, combat nights and concerts under one roar-proof roof.
Training & performance centres
Academies, altitude rooms and recovery suites built to make champions.
Aquatic & racquet centres
Pools, courts and halls with broadcast light and championship geometry.
Fan zones & precincts
The square outside the gates, designed as carefully as the pitch.
Royal & hospitality tiers
Majlis boxes, tunnel clubs and lounges worthy of a final.
Room II · The Match Plan
Six moves from winning bid to kickoff whistle.
A tournament date is the hardest deadline in construction. We plan backwards from the anthem.
The city & the site
Transport, precinct and legacy planned before the first sketch.
The bowl & the sightline
Every seat aimed at the action; every aisle timed to the second.
The engineering
Long spans, cable roofs and cooling that tames a desert July.
The atmosphere
Acoustics, floodlight ballets and LED skins that make the building play too.
The operations
Security, broadcast galleries and turf science, rehearsed like a squad.
Matchday one
Test events, commissioning and a stadium that opens match-fit.
Room III · The Fan Journey
Designed from the car park to the last chant.
A fan’s day lasts nine hours. The match is ninety minutes. We design the other seven and a half.
The approach
Precinct choreography that builds the heartbeat street by street.
The gate
Ticketing and security flows measured in seconds, not queues.
The seat
Sightline, legroom, shade and the neighbour’s flag — all drawn.
The roar
Acoustic geometry that turns sixty thousand voices into one.
The concourse
Food, prayer rooms and family space sized for an eight-minute halftime.
The legacy
A bowl busy 365 days a year — concerts, tours, community leagues.
In December 2024, FIFA confirmed Saudi Arabia as host of the 2034 FIFA World Cup — fifteen stadiums across five host cities, from King Salman International Stadium in Riyadh to a bowl set three hundred and fifty metres above the ground in NEOM. It is the largest venue-building programme on Earth, and it is happening at home. The House of Ci stands ready where the Kingdom plays: venue interiors, royal hospitality, fan precincts, ceremonies and the cities that rise around them.
The final whistle is where the memory begins.
