The complex will include 30 courts in total, comprising 28 hard courts and two clay courts.
Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya Investment Company has unveiled plans for the Middle East’s largest National Tennis Centre, a landmark development aimed at positioning the Kingdom as a premier destination for international tennis while boosting the growth of local talent and increasing community participation in the sport.
The facility, currently under construction in Qiddiya City, will include 30 courts in total—28 hard courts and two clay courts. Designed by international sports architecture firm Populous, the centre is being built to ATP, WTA, and International Tennis Federation standards.
The venue is expected to host top-tier international tournaments while also serving as Saudi Arabia’s national hub for tennis development and training.
At the centre of the project will be a 15,000-seat Centre Court with a retractable roof, supported by an 8,000-seat multi-purpose arena, a 5,000-seat Court One, and a 2,000-seat Court Two, bringing total capacity to around 33,000 spectators.
The facility will also feature indoor and practice courts, along with athlete training and recovery centres, wellness amenities, fan zones, and public entertainment spaces, allowing it to operate year-round beyond elite-level competition.
Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal said the project reflects the Kingdom’s ongoing commitment to strengthening sports infrastructure, while creating the right conditions to host major international events and attract top global athletes.
International tennis organisations also welcomed the project. International Tennis Federation Chief Executive Ross Hutchins said that world-class facilities are vital for growing the sport and developing future generations, while ATP Chief Executive Officer Eno Polo described the development as a major addition to the global tennis ecosystem.
Beyond tennis, the venue will also be able to host concerts, e-sports events, cultural programmes, and other sporting competitions. It is part of the wider Qiddiya City development, which recently launched attractions including Six Flags Qiddiya City, Aquarabia—the Middle East’s largest water park—and PlayMaker Studios, a new film production hub, as Saudi Arabia continues expanding its sports and entertainment infrastructure under its Vision 2030 strategy.
