The first edition of the FSB Sports Show Riyadh attracted over 13,000 visitors in June 2025. This makes it the largest trade fair in Saudi Arabia for sports infrastructure, recreational facilities, and public spaces. The fair aligns with the country's ambitions as it prepares for major sporting events such as the Asian Winter Games 2029 and the FIFA World Cup in 2034.
The trade fair, organized by Koelnmesse and dmg events, targeted professionals involved in stadiums, public parks, schools, and large-scale area developments. They explored ready-made solutions for sports flooring, artificial turf, recreational facilities, and urban design. Among the 200 exhibitors was Greenfields from the Netherlands, a specialist in artificial turf systems.
In addition to a wide range of products, knowledge sharing played a central role. During the conference programs "Saudi Sports & Leisure Summit" and "ActiveSpaces 360," topics included smart sports facilities, climate-resilient design, and accessibility. Representatives from organizations including IAKS, ESTC, and Labosport discussed technical standards and sustainable applications for sports fields and public spaces.
The fair supports Saudi Arabia's Sport for All policy, which aims to increase sports participation and promote healthy living environments. In this context, the demand for high-quality, future-proof sports infrastructure is growing. The second edition of the FSB Sports Show Riyadh is scheduled for 15 to 17 June 2026.
