The Summit's program was meticulously curated to foster strategic partnerships, drive innovation, and create investment opportunities. It provided a platform for experts to share insights, best practices, and technical advancements in the development of inspiring and remarkable stadiums in Saudi Arabia.
Polypipe Middle East's Contribution:
Polypipe Middle East, a leader in sustainable water management solutions, showcased its expertise in pitch design at the Summit. The company is at the forefront of specifications for pitch design, offering a passive irrigation strategy for entire pitches. Polypipe's multi-award-winning solution, Permavoid, was highlighted for its ability to create self-irrigated and vacuum-ventilated pitches. This innovative system not only ensures optimal grass health by passing air and keeping the grass fresh but also adapts to site-specific conditions with minor tweaks.
Future Developments:
Saudi Arabia's ambitious plans include the construction of 16 new stadiums and the upgrade of existing ones by 2027. This presents significant opportunities for various firms involved in sports facility development. Giga-projects like NEOM and Qiddiya are set to feature advanced sports venues, with Qiddiya alone investing USD 8 billion in infrastructure.
Economic Impact:
The development of sports venues is expected to drive economic growth and boost tourism in Saudi Arabia. Over USD 2 billion in investments are allocated for sports venue development, with major events like the Asian Cup 2027 and FIFA World Cup 2034 projected to attract over USD 15 billion in investments for stadiums and infrastructure.
Sustainability Goals:
By 2030, more than 70% of new stadiums in Saudi Arabia will incorporate sustainable practices, creating a demand for eco-friendly construction solutions.
Polypipe Middle East's involvement in the World Stadiums and Arena Summit underscores its commitment to advancing sustainable sports facility development and supporting Saudi Arabia's vision for world-class stadiums and is proud to be part of this vision.
