Design and architecture

From a distance, the façade appears transparent, blending indoor and outdoor spaces, while up close, it showcases solidity through angled slats.[4] Key features include FIFA-compliant sightlines. All seats are positioned within 90 meters of the pitch, ensuring unobstructed views. A saddle-shaped elliptical roof with transparent sections for natural lighting. Outdoor platforms with food/beverage outlets offering panoramic city views. The complex connects to a 45,000 m² shared podium housing training facilities, offices, shops, and restaurants.[5][6]
