Recently, Sports Weekly cited Saudi Arabia's internal news that Saudi officials have confirmed that all five home matches of the upcoming 12-team tournament will be played at the King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh.
The stadium's turf is in excellent condition, which is extremely favorable to the technical and tactical performance of Saudi players. In addition, its geographical location makes it easy for local fans to come and cheer, thus effectively enhancing the home atmosphere.
The King Saud University Stadium, located in western Riyadh, was built in the spring of 2011 and officially opened in May 2015. Its construction cost up to about $57 million and is a professional soccer stadium with a capacity of 25,000 spectators.
In addition, the stadium is also the home of Saudi club Al Nasr, which hosted the Saudi team's home matches during the World Cup 40.
The Saudis will host Vietnam in the first round of the 12-team tournament on September 2, while our national team is scheduled to face the Saudis on the road in the fourth round on October 12, when the two sides will battle it out at the King Saud University Stadium.
