Parsons Corporation announced that it has been selected by Al Ittihad Club Company to serve as the project‑management consultant for the Al Ittihad Sports Village in Jeddah. The integrated development, situated near King Abdullah Sports City, will house the club’s headquarters, academy training pitches, performance‑development centers, administrative buildings, and commercial assets, all designed to meet FIFA standards and international best practices.
The win expands Parsons’ footprint in Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing sports‑infrastructure sector and aligns with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 quality‑of‑life program, which seeks to position Saudi Arabia as a global sports and entertainment hub. Parsons has operated in the country for nearly 70 years and employs more than 3,000 staff locally, positioning it to capture a share of the country’s ambitious sports‑development agenda.
The contract is expected to generate recurring revenue streams for Parsons as the village moves from design into construction and operation phases. It also strengthens the company’s strategic focus on the Middle East, where it has recently secured other high‑profile projects, and signals confidence from the Public Investment Fund, which holds a 75% stake in Al Ittihad.
The announcement was positively received by investors, reflecting confidence in Parsons’ international pipeline and its ability to deliver large‑scale sports projects.
Fenwick Iribarren Architects has been named the lead designer for the Al Ittihad Sports Village, working alongside Parsons as the project‑management consultant. The collaboration aims to deliver a world‑class facility that meets FIFA standards and supports the club’s long‑term growth objectives.
