Recently, the world has been witnessing a strong presence of the Middle East region on the world sports map. This is evidenced by the ambitious project below by the United Arab Emirates - building a unique and innovative sports complex on the Jebel Hafeet mountain, near the Al Ain desert.
The stadium project named "The Rock Stadium" is built from sand in the Al Ain desert, bringing a unique and impressive sports experience. The project is estimated to cost up to 953 million USD (nearly 18 times more than My Dinh National Stadium).

This project promises to become a special architectural highlight, attracting the attention of sports enthusiasts around the world. The design of the complex includes three giant trapezoids nested together, forming three floors with a large terrace embracing the terrain, blending into the majestic nature. The special feature of The Rock Stadium lies in the construction location, which is that the stadium will be located underground to limit the effects of extreme temperatures in the hot desert environment. This innovative design promises to bring visitors and fans a cool and comfortable space for competition and sports cheering right in the area that can be called the hottest in the world.
With a total expected capacity of up to 40,000 seats, this project is expected to be a prestigious stadium hosting large-scale sports matches, a symbol of pride and heritage of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
The stadium's design was inspired by the majestic beauty of the desert and nature here.
Inspired by the majestic beauty of the desert, the architects have breathed life into the project with unique design lines, showing respect for the natural landscape here. According to the design unit, The Rock Stadium will be built in the "coldest" depths of the desert, like a hidden treasure underground waiting to be discovered. When visitors come here, they will be overwhelmed by the image of a giant inclined plane rising from the ground, creating a unique and impressive architectural work.
The project not only promises to deliver a world-class stadium but also contribute to promoting tourism and economic development in the region. This project shows the strong investment of Middle Eastern countries in the field of sports, affirming their position and growing influence on the international stage.

Although expected to become a new symbol for UAE sports, The Rock Stadium project in the Al Ain desert is currently on hold due to technical challenges and rising costs. However, the project has not been officially canceled, opening up the possibility of this unique stadium being completed in the future. In addition to this project, Middle Eastern countries are also implementing large-scale sports projects, contributing to making this region an attractive destination on the international sports map.
