Host a Jeddah tournament ground
Three Jeddah grounds, North, East-Central and South, each need one venue. The Pitch Round is a five-week event for 64 to 128 teams per ground, starting on 9 April 2027, and a venue is announced on the city page once its agreement is signed. Owners of futsal courts or small pitches in Jeddah can apply.
What it takes to host a ground in Jeddah
A Jeddah host venue stages one ground's fixtures: group football on three April weekends, playoffs after that and a ground final on 9 May 2027. Each game takes 40 minutes, split into two 15-minute halves with the clock stopped for stoppages.
The venue does not run the competition. MCC recruits match officials and crew through its join page, and teams never appoint them. Once MCC signs an agreement with the venue, it is named on the Jeddah city page, and not before.
How a Jeddah venue fits one of the three grounds
North Jeddah covers the districts toward the airport road and Obhur. East-Central Jeddah covers the middle of the city inland from the Corniche. South Jeddah covers the areas toward the old port and the southern districts. A venue is matched to the ground whose area contains it.
Because Jeddah stretches along the coast, the district decides which ground a site serves. Each ground ends up with one venue, so an owner in the north, the middle or the south is a candidate for exactly one of the three.
Applying as a Jeddah pitch owner
The pitch owner application on this site is the way in. MCC confirms one venue for each ground, signs an agreement with it and only then announces it. The live cards on the city page show which Jeddah grounds already have a venue and which are still open.
All three Jeddah grounds are open to applications, and the Pitch Round starts on 9 April 2027. Name your district in the application so MCC can place the site against North, East-Central or South Jeddah, and say who can sign.
Questions from Jeddah venues
Can a school or sports club in Jeddah host a ground?
Yes, if it controls the pitches and can sign a venue agreement. The programme is for pitch owners, whatever kind of organisation owns the site, whether a school, a club or a private business.
Which areas does each Jeddah ground cover?
North Jeddah covers the districts toward the airport road and Obhur. East-Central covers the middle of the city inland from the Corniche. South covers the areas toward the old port and the southern districts. Each ground has a single venue.
How soon will MCC confirm Jeddah venues?
MCC confirms one venue per ground and announces it on the Jeddah page once its agreement is signed. The live cards show which grounds still have no venue, so a ground with no card yet is still open to applications from Jeddah operators.
