The pavilion, which spans 18,000 square metres, the equivalent of more than two football pitches, is to be open for twelve hours a day for the remainder of the tournament.

"We are extremely pleased to welcome everyone to Saudi House over the course of this historic edition of the FIFA World Cup," Saudi Minister of Sport Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal said.  

"We strongly believe in the power of football to bring people together from different backgrounds and ages, in addition to its power to promote diversity and inclusion.

"Saudi House presents a perfect opportunity for us to showcase our diverse culture, immense hospitality, traditions and football history to the world during the biggest show on earth."

Saudi Arabia have already been chosen to host the 2034 Asian Games and are bidding to host the Asian Cup men’s football tournament in 2027.

A decision is scheduled for February 2023.

"Thanks to our country’s transformative Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia is more open to the world than ever, and we want to celebrate the first World Cup in the Middle East to the fullest and share our passion and story with fans from across all corners of the globe," Prince Abdulaziz insisted.

The Saudi pavilion in Doha will host 21 different activities in 10 dedicated areas and is situated on the Corniche, the beachfront promenade in the city.

"The Green Pulse" takes fans through a journey of Saudi football’s illustrious history, showcasing its most its iconic moments, goals and heroes. 

Meanwhile, visitors from across the globe will get the chance to feast their cravings by experiencing traditional Saudi cuisine as part of the "cooking" area. The "Cultural Zone" presents an opportunity for guests to experience Saudi Arabia’s rich culture and diverse folklore from across five diverse regions.

Overlooking the Arabian Gulf and close to major attractions in Doha's West Bay, fans can also sulk in the atmosphere during the FIFA World Cup's 64 matches, all of which will be live broadcast on a giant LED screen on the "Falcon Stage."

Football in Saudi Arabia arguably experienced one of its greatest days yesterday when the nation came from behind to defeat one of the pre-tournament favourites Argentina.

Saudi Arabia, known as the "Green Falcons," first qualified for the World Cup in 1994 and have subsequently taken part in five further tournaments.

They had previously defeated Belgium in 1994 and Egypt in 2018.

The "Falcon Stage," will show coverage of every World Cup match on a giant LED screen.

A cooking area will allow visitors to sample traditional Saudi cuisine and there will also be live music at the pavilion. 

Organisers claim that the The "Cultural Zone" will offer a chance "to experience Saudi Arabia’s rich culture and diverse folklore from across five diverse regions."

Over half a million fans from Saudi Arabia and the Middle East are expected to experience the tournament.

Saudi Arabia are due to continue their campaign against Poland on November 26 before completing the group phase against Mexico on November 30.
