King Saud University Stadium (KSUS) (Arabic: ملعب جامعة الملك سعود, romanized: ʿmaleab Jāmiʿah al-Malik Saʿūd), known as Al-Awwal Park (Arabic: الأول بارك) due to sponsorship reasons, is an association football stadium located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In September 2020, Saudi Media Company (SMC) obtained the management rights for operating the stadium. In October 2020, SMC signed a deal with Al Nassr FC for the Al-Awwal Park to become their home stadium.[1] The stadium has a current capacity of 25,000.
It is set to be a venue for the 2034 FIFA World Cup and has a proposed capacity of 46,319 people following refurbishments, where it will host fixtures in the group stage and round of 32.[2] It will also host matches for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, specifically the group stage and round of 16.[3]
