Ferco Seating, a global leader in spectator seating solutions, has announced its selection for a transformative project at the Aramco Stadium in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The company will install 45,494 seats from its ARC family, setting the stage for an enhanced fan experience.
The Aramco Stadium is designed to accommodate 47,000 spectators, expandable to 55,000 for concerts and special events. Its stunning spiral architecture draws inspiration from the mesmerizing whirlpools of the Arabian Gulf, positioning it as a hallmark of modern design.
This venue is part of a broader master plan that includes training fields, parks, fan zones, retail spaces, and comprehensive support facilities—creating a vibrant hub for sports and entertainment. As a premier venue for international events, the stadium is set to host the 2027 AFC Asian Cup and matches during the 2034 FIFA World Cup. Post-World Cup, it will also serve as thehome ground for a professional football club Al Qadsiah FC, further solidifying its importance in the region’s sporting landscape.
Ferco Seating was chosen for this project due to its longstanding reputation for delivering high-quality, comfortable, and durable seating solutions. “We are immensely proud to be involved in this iconic project,” says Tim Barr, CEO of Ferco Seating. “Our commitment is to provide exceptional seating that enhances the fan experience and contributes to the stadium’s success as it hosts world-class events.”
In addition to this landmark project, Ferco’s ARC seats have also been selected for another prestigious undertaking at FC Barcelona’s Spotify Camp Nou, where 90,000 seats are currently being installed and expected to be completed by mid-year.
The Aramco Stadium project is slated for completion by 2026. Ferco Seating is confident that these new installations will significantly elevate the spectator experience at the stadium, establishing it as a premier destination for sports and entertainment in Saudi Arabia while playing a vital role in hosting major events like the 2027 AFC Asian Cup and the 2034 FIFA World Cup.
