University Sports City: Olympic Standards and Diverse Facilities Driving Athletic Growth in the Region

Since its establishment, Najran University has represented a major educational and developmental leap for the region, guiding the nation's youth toward their future and contributing through its graduates to the ongoing national development. The university's impact, however, goes beyond academics—it has also played a significant role in enriching the region’s landscape with prominent landmarks. Among these is its state-of-the-art Sports City, which stands as a modern symbol alongside the area's historical and cultural heritage.

One of the most notable features is the university stadium and a variety of indoor sports halls, all of which have contributed to the revitalization of the athletic scene in the region. The stadium, constructed to meet Olympic standards, is considered the most prominent in the area and has hosted numerous regional sports competitions.

The University Sports Stadium is the largest in the region and is a source of pride for Saudi university athletics. It was built according to Olympic specifications, with a capacity of 10,000 spectators, a length of 150 meters, and a width of 68 meters.

Within the university campus, the recreational facilities also include a dedicated Faculty Club featuring a closed sports complex spanning 5,500 square meters. This complex houses a 25 x 16-meter swimming pool, a five-lane bowling alley, jacuzzi, sauna, billiards and table tennis areas, as well as facilities for track and field events. Additionally, it includes a multi-purpose indoor court suitable for basketball, volleyball, and handball.

Complementing the sports amenities are two on-site restaurants with dining halls, a formal events hall, administrative offices, and ample parking spaces—making the university’s sports city a comprehensive, world-class destination for both athletics and leisure.
