UAE President reviews design for new Al Jazira Club Stadium

UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has reviewed the master plan for the new 24,000-seat capacity Al Jazira Club Stadium that will be located in Zayed City.

The stadium is designed to expand the seating capacity to up to 30,000 and will host a variety of year-round events, including sports competitions, celebrations and other public gatherings.

Held at Qasr Al Bahr on Tuesday, the project briefing highlighted the stadium's features, including a fully air-conditioned seating and a retractable pitch that can slide out of the main arena, as well as dedicated hospitality services for spectators.

The project will also include a wide range of amenities, including restaurants and lounges that will remain accessible outside event times.

Construction on Al Jazira Club Stadium is scheduled to begin in 2026 under the supervision of His Highness Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, with completion expected in three years.

Reflecting the UAE’s vision to develop world-class sports infrastructure that enhances quality of life, the new stadium also aims to empower youth and create new opportunities for excellence and innovation, while continuing to advance the sports sector as a key driver of national development.
