The city of Riyadh is set to reshape the landscape of global sports with its latest venture, the Global Sports Tower. As the tallest sports-oriented building worldwide, this tower, endorsed by the Sports Boulevard Foundation under the leadership of H.R.H. The Crown Prince, rises to an impressive height of 130 meters and covers a vast internal space of 84,000 square meters.

Key Attractions:
- The tower features the world's highest indoor climbing wall, reaching up to 98 meters, setting a new global benchmark.
- Additionally, it boasts the highest running track, which extends for 250 meters, offering unique athletic experiences at elevated heights.

Integral to the expansive Sports Boulevard project, which stretches over 135 kilometers, the Global Sports Tower is more than just a sports facility. This project integrates various culturally rich and active lifestyle districts such as the Wadi Hanifah Valley Zone, the Arts District, and the Athletics District. These areas are equipped with amenities for a wide range of activities including cycling, horse riding, and cultural events, thus enhancing the recreational and social fabric of the city.

Community and Economic Impact:
The tower is designed not only to be a sports facility but also to serve as a vibrant communal space that promotes economic growth and fosters social interactions. This initiative aligns with Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to transform Riyadh into one of the world's most hospitable and livable cities by fostering a community-centered urban environment.

Through the creation of the Global Sports, Tower Riyadh is making a strategic move to enhance its global standing in sports, lifestyle, and urban development, reflecting a broader commitment to fostering a healthy, active, and interconnected community.
