Qiddiya Investment Company has announced the launch of the National Tennis Centre, a world-class sports and entertainment landmark that will position Saudi Arabia as a future hub for international tennis, local grass roots participation and year-round community play.

Located in Qiddiya City – the kingdom’s capital of entertainment, sport, and culture – it will be the region’s largest tennis centre, built to ATP, WTA and ITF standards across all courts to attract and host some of the world’s most prestigious events. 

The mega facility boasts 30 courts – 28 hard courts and two clay courts – integrated into the dramatic landscape of Qiddiya City with layered green facades woven into the surrounding Tuwaiq Mountains.

Construction is already well underway on the 33,000-seat facility, which is designed by globally renowned sports architecture firm Populous. 

The announcement of the National Tennis Centre adds to the remarkable momentum at Qiddiya City, including the recent opening of Six Flags theme park, Aquarabia, the Middle-East’s largest water park, and PlayMaker Studios, the new purpose-built film production hub.

It combines world-class competition infrastructure with elite training and wellness facilities, a vibrant public realm, and two multi-purpose arenas with retractable roofs for climate control which can host concerts and major events beyond tennis. 

Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal, Minister of Sport, said the new tennis centre reflects the support and attention the sports sector receives from the leadership.

He also stressed that the centre represents an important pillar in developing tennis in the kingdom, a sport that enjoys wide popularity among both participants and fans.
