Mrsool Park is a football stadium located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Until November 2020, the stadium was named King Saud University Stadium. In September 2020, Saudi Media Company won the management rights for operating the stadium. On October 26, 2020, SMC signed a deal with Al Nassr FC for Mrsool Park to become their home.
History
Construction work on the campus of King Saud University in Western Riyadh started in the Spring of 2011, and the opening took place in May 2015. The design and construction work was commissioned to Hashem Contracting Company, who delivered the stadium according to specifications (and FIFA rules for international games) within the budget of 215 million riyals ($57m).
The stadium may appear soil-brown or gold depending on the sunlight due to its perforated and metallic outer skin. Mrsool Park underwent a renovation at the end of 2020, and this will continue to transform it into a young and family-friendly destination with fan zones and entertainment areas for everyone to enjoy.
In 2020, the stadium underwent a massive re-branding operation, becoming Mrsool Park.
