Stadium Builders &
Infrastructure Contractors
You are building or renovating one of the 15 World Cup venues, or delivering the roads, airports, and rail infrastructure that will move 5 million+ visitors between them. You need a massive, multi-national construction workforce deployed fast and kept compliant across multiple cities.
Your challenges:
- Deploying thousands of workers across 5 cities under one compliance framework
- Saudization requirements under Nitaqat for construction sector
- Multi-nationality visa profession mapping, one mistake causes delays
- No existing KSA entity or HR infrastructure to manage employment
- WPS, GOSI, and Iqama management at scale under live construction
- Business Setup
- EOR at scale
- Manpower services
- National staffing
- PRO & Admin
- Saudization advisory
Hotel Chains, F&B Brands &
Fan Experience Operators
The World Cup will generate millions of hotel nights and an unprecedented volume of food and beverage demand across five cities. If you are opening or scaling a hospitality operation in KSA for 2034, your service staff must be recruited, trained, and compliant, long before kick-off.
Your challenges:
- High-volume front-line service recruitment across multiple cities
- Hospitality sector Saudization ratios and Nitaqat compliance
- Rapid onboarding timelines, hospitality can't wait for long visa processes
- Training programs for Saudi national staff to meet brand standards

- High-volume recruitment
- National staffing
- Training services
- Finance & VAT
- Mobilization
Broadcast, Media, AV &
Technology Companies
You are providing broadcast infrastructure, digital platforms, AV systems, or cybersecurity services across the 15 venues and 5 fan festival sites. You need senior technical specialists in KSA fast, without the overhead of building a full local entity for a project-bound deployment.
Your challenges:
- Need to deploy senior technical expats in weeks, not months
- Complex visa profession mapping for IT and broadcast roles
- Project-bound deployment, don't want long-term KSA employment liability
- Multiple nationalities across one small, specialised team
- Need transparent, predictable employment cost structure
- EOR for expats
- Manpower services
- Admin / PRO
- HR advisory
- Payroll
Security Firms, Events Companies
& Logistics Operators
The World Cup demands elite-level crowd management, logistics, and event operations across 104 matches and 2 fan festivals per city. You need a large, trained, and legally compliant workforce deployed across multiple cities simultaneously, with the flexibility to scale up or down.
Your challenges:
- Flexible per-hour or short-term staffing for match-day operations
- Saudi national workforce requirements for security and public-facing roles
- Rapid scale-up for tournament phases and rapid wind-down post-event
- Multi-city coordination with a single compliance framework
- No desire to set up a permanent KSA entity for a time-bound operation
- Manpower per-hour
- National staffing
- EOR model
- Payroll & WPS
- Mobilization
Six pillars. One partner.
All five cities.
We already manage 1,500+ employees in KSA. World Cup scale is what we're built for.

The FIFA World Cup 2034 will demand Saudi Arabia’s largest peacetime workforce effort. It will happen across five cities at the same time. Work will span stadiums, hotels, transport hubs, fan zones, broadcast centers, and security operations.
Companies that build their KSA HR setup from scratch will fall behind. The best model is to partner with an organization that is already ready. It should have systems, relationships, government portal access, and a strong compliance record.
MENA BIG has managed workforce deployments for Riyadh Metro operations. It has also supported major infrastructure projects and companies in 14 sectors. Its EOR model caused zero disruption for a live metro operator. That same model can power your World Cup presence.
The contracts are awarded to the companies already on the ground.
