Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II International Stadium will be Jordan’s largest stadium upon completion
Jordan has started preliminary excavation and site preparation work at its Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II International Stadium, located east of the capital city of Amman.
The project is part of the first phase of the Amra City development master plan.
The development is being implemented by Jordan Cities & Facilities Development Company, a Jordan Investment Fund-owned company.
The main works are expected to begin early next year, with the stadium slated for completion in 2029.
The project will cover an area of about 1 million square metres and the stadium will have a capacity of 50,000 spectators.
The stadium is being built within the Amra City development, which is located about 40 kilometres (km) from downtown Amman and 35km from Zarqa City and Queen Alia International airport.
The project forms part of Jordan's Economic Modernisation Vision (EMV) 2023-25.
The EMV – Amman’s flagship reform programme – aims to increase real income per capita by an average of 3% annually, create 1 million jobs, and more than double the country’s GDP over the next decade.
The strategy envisages a leading role for the private sector, which is expected to account for 73% of the estimated $58.8bn investment required.
To achieve these targets, a substantial pipeline of public-private partnership (PPP) projects is planned in sectors including water desalination, school construction, clean energy, green hydrogen, transport and road infrastructure.
Last year, the PPP unit at the Investment Ministry said it was targeting seven key PPP projects in 2025.
