THE Serbian national team will have a groundbreaking new home in the next few years.
The stadium is set to be completed by December 1, 2026 and has been described as a “garden stadium” thanks to its greenery covered facade.
The ground is designed to have four “rings” suspended by cables that surround the stadium and are covered in trees and bushes to offer a more green look.
The design has been created by a Spanish architectural firm who were responsible for three of the eight stadiums built in Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup – including Stadium 974, which was made out of recycled shipping containers.
Infrastructure work for the stadium will be carried out by China’s Power Construction Corporation (PowerChina). The Serbian government will invest €350 million for the construction of the 60,000-seat stadium.
And the surrounding area is also set to be filled with kiosks, restaurants, leisure areas, three parks, a water sports centre and golf courses.
The Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic visited the grounds for the construction ahead of things getting underway and claimed the stadium will be one of the top three most beautiful arenas in the world.
