A video of Saudi Arabia’s futuristic 'Sky Stadium' that went viral on social media has turned out to be fake.
The video, which many believed showed the design for a 2034 FIFA World Cup stadium, was actually created using artificial intelligence.
According to Arab media, the video does not depict any official project approved by the Saudi government. The creator of the video revealed that it was made entirely with AI and was only a conceptual idea, not part of any real plan in Saudi Arabia.
Despite being fictional, the video gained massive attention worldwide, with millions of views across social media platforms.
While the AI-generated Sky Stadium is fake, Saudi Arabia is indeed planning to build 15 state-of-the-art stadiums for the 2034 World Cup. One of these projects is the 'Cloud Stadium' in the futuristic NEOM mega city.
The Cloud Stadium will be constructed around 350 meters (1,150 feet) above ground, with a seating capacity of 46,000 spectators. It will be powered entirely by solar and wind energy.
Official sources said construction on the NEOM stadium is scheduled to begin in 2027 and is expected to be completed by 2032.
