22 April 2025

Sports venue architecture specialist Populous has unveiled the design for a new �333.8 million stadium in Venice, Italy.
Maffeis Engineering and Populous were commissioned for the design and engineering work on the stadium by the consortium building the project: Costruzioni Bordignon, Fincantieri Infrastrutture and Ranzato Impianti. Those firms won the contract for the stadium in March 2024.
The 18,500-seater stadium will be part of a sports masterplan in Tessera, in the new Bosco dello Sport � a multifunctional, 116-hectare hub in the northern part of the city.

It will host football, Serie A rugby, and other events such as concerts.
Luigi Brugnaro, Mayor of the Municipality of Venice, said, “This will be an important project not only for our metropolitan area, but for the whole country. It will host football and rugby matches, as well as cultural events and concerts, and together with the new Arena, it will lead to the creation of jobs.
“With the whole area of the Bosco dello Sport, Venice will finally have a new epicentre of sport, social life, inclusion and sustainability. I thank all those who, over the years, have worked to make this dream come true.�
