The development of a next-generation indoor stadium that aspires to redefine live entertainment and sporting experiences in the Gulf Cooperation Council region has been announced by Trosmic Sports.

Underpinned by a reported US$1 billion in available Japanese equity, the proposed 20,000-capacity Flux Halo venue has been described as being "a bold step toward creating one of the most technologically advanced and culturally impactful arenas in the world."

While a precise final location has yet to be decided, the venue will be built in one of the six GCC countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates.

Set to offer a fully configurable bowl suitable for sport and convention, the venue will feature 200,000 metre² of column-free interior space, capped by a 75,000 metre² retractable tensile roof to allow events to proceed comfortably year-round.

It is planned that the venue will also be wrapped in a 50,000-square-metre programmable LED mesh, allowing the exterior of the facility to double as a digital canvas for immersive light shows, branding campaigns and real-time statistics.

The announcement comes at a time when GCC nations are accelerating their efforts to diversify their economies beyond hydrocarbons, with billions being channelled into tourism, culture, and live entertainment events infrastructure.

Vaibhav Sharma, Chairman of Trosmic Sports, stated “this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to help shape the next great venue of our time,” said Vaibhav Sharma, Chairman of Trosmic Sports. “Flux Halo isn’t just about entertainment, it’s about regional pride, innovation, and creating something that leaves a legacy.”
