en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Jordan Company for the Development of Cities and Facilities announced on June 14, 2026, that preliminary infrastructure construction and site excavation work have officially commenced for the Al-Hussein Bin Abdullah II International Stadium project. Located in the core area of Phase One of the Amra City master plan, the project covers approximately 1,000 dunams (about 1 square kilometer), with a designed spectator capacity of 46,000 seats, making it the largest sports venue in Jordan upon completion. The project costs approximately 200 million Jordanian dinars (about 1.9 billion RMB) and is scheduled for completion and official opening by the end of 2029.
The Jordan Company for the Development of Cities and Facilities is a fully state-owned enterprise under the Jordan Investment Fund management, responsible for investor relations, procurement, and joint venture partner management for the Amra City project. Launched by Jordanian Prime Minister Jafar Hassan in November 2025, the Amra City project is a 25-year long-term urban development plan aimed at alleviating population pressure on the capital cities of Amman and Zarqa—at current growth rates, the population of these two cities is expected to reach 11 million within 25 years. The project is situated on state-owned land totaling nearly 500,000 dunams, with Phase One covering 40,000 dunams, positioned as a green, technology-driven modern city.
The stadium will feature two dedicated training fields, a transportation hub capable of accommodating 6,000 cars and buses, and seamless connectivity with the local bus network and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system. The architectural design integrates modern sports engineering with Jordanian traditional culture and architectural heritage elements, built to international sports venue standards, employing sustainable energy and water resource management systems, and equipped with advanced event operations technology facilities. The venue will be surrounded by a green buffer zone composed of native plants. Current construction focuses on site organization, land leveling, and deep foundation excavation, with structural engineering and main construction expected to commence in the first quarter of 2027.
This project is one of the key physical infrastructure initiatives under Jordan's "Economic Modernization Vision." According to project estimates, the construction and subsequent operational phases will create hundreds of direct jobs. Upon completion, the stadium will strengthen Jordan's sports infrastructure, support local sports development, and enhance the country's capacity to host major regional and international events.
