KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 (Bernama) -- Populous and Maffeis Engineering have been commissioned for the design and engineering work by the consortium of companies composed of Costruzioni Bordignon, Fincantieri Infrastrutture and Ranzato Impianti, which was awarded the contract for the project in March 2024.
According to a statement, plans for a new multi-purpose stadium in Venice, Italy, have been unveiled, with the facility set to host football, Serie A rugby matches, and live events including concerts.
The stadium, to be located in Tessera within the Bosco dello Sport development zone, will have a capacity of 18,500 seats and form part of a larger 116-hectare sports masterplan that aims to integrate sport, social life, education and wellbeing.
Mayor of the Municipality of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro hailed the project as a symbol of renewal and ambition for the city.
“This will be one of the most modern and innovative stadiums in the world. It will not only support sporting excellence but also stimulate employment and social inclusion through the Bosco dello Sport,” he said.
Meanwhile, Populous Italia Senior Principal and General Manager, Silvia Prandelli said the new stadium would enhance the fan experience and serve as a transformative and regenerative addition to the region.
The project also involves engineering firms Soil Engineering, Seingim, and Gae Engineering.
The stadium will feature a distinctive design inspired by the surrounding landscape, with curved lines interacting with nearby sports facilities and emphasising a light, airy structure. The stadium’s façade is made of vertical elements that create a dynamic backdrop to the seating bowl, while the crescent-shaped podium offers essential services and parking.
The stadium's seating bowl is designed to provide optimal sightlines and an immersive fan experience, with a 360-degree covered gallery and premium VIP hospitality areas. The design adheres to high standards of inclusivity and accessibility, and the structure will also accommodate various social and dining areas.
The facility is designed for flexibility, allowing it to host both sports events and large-scale cultural programmes. Parking and supporting infrastructure will be integrated into the crescent-shaped podium that encircles the stadium.
