Why King Salman Leads
King Salman International Stadium is the largest planned venue at 92,760 capacity — built specifically for mega-events:
- New construction in Riyadh
- Capital city prestige
- Exceeds Lusail Stadium (88,966) used for the 2022 final
- Logical pairing with opening ceremony in the same city
If FIFA follows precedent (largest venue = final), King Salman is the default choice.
Alternative Candidates
| Venue | Case for | Case against |
|---|---|---|
| King Fahd Sports City | Existing icon, renovated | Smaller than King Salman |
| NEOM Stadium | Global marketing showcase | Lower capacity (~46k) |
| King Abdullah (Jeddah) | Coastal city, large capacity | Less central than Riyadh |
