Design firm OMA has presented plans for a new stadium for Dutch Eredivisie football club Feyenoord.
The Feyenoord City development in Rotterdam would have a capacity of 63,000 and could open as early as 2022 in the Nieuwe Maas district of the city.
The club is hoping to raise €135m (£113m/$143m) from the municipality of Rotterdam for the project. The total cost of Feyenoord City, featuring a range of other facilities – including shops, homes, offices, hotels, a brewery, sports facilities, a cinema and a train station – is expected to be €1.4bn, with the stadium costing €400m.
Of the funding provided by Rotterdam, €60m would be set aside for the long-term lease of the land, €40m would be used for the construction of the venue itself, and €35m would be put towards infrastructure surrounding the stadium.
Under the plans, Feyenoord’s current stadium, De Kuip, would be partly demolished and transformed into a museum for the club. Apartments would also be built on site, with the new stadium would be situated a few hundred metres away.
