Case Study: Al‑Nassr FC achieves a wireless‑first smart campus and scalable fan engagement with HPE Aruba Networking

Digital layer kicks off football’s new image

Al‑Nassr FC, a leading Saudi football club, set out to transform fan engagement and matchday operations by building a smart, wireless‑first campus that simplifies IoT and biometric deployments, maximizes content capture, and unifies network operations across multiple sites.

HPE Aruba Networking delivered an edge‑to‑cloud solution — Wi‑Fi 7 access points, CX switches, EdgeConnect SD‑WAN, Central, ClearPass and Orchestrator — creating a cable‑less environment that scaled weekly network users from 300 to 10,000, supported the launch of a dedicated TV channel, and provided a centralized view of operations across 20 sites.
