EGIS STRENGTHENS ITS POSITIONING IN THE WORLD OF SPORT BY ACQUIRING FIA (FENWICK IRIBARREN ARCHITECTS)

FIA, is a Madrid-based design practice founded in 1990, specializing in the design, rehabilitation, and consultancy of sports
and events architecture. FIA boasts an impressive track record through their innovative approach to low-carbon design
and fabrication of iconic stadiums which has made it a reference designer for UEFA (Union of European Football
Associations).
Egis has extensive experience in sports infrastructure throughout the world and has provided more than 1,000,000 seats
in sports facilities, such as the Stade Vélodrome in Marseille (France) or the Paul Biya Sports Complex in Olembe
(Cameroon).
This acquisition by Egis in Spain will not only allow Egis to expand its portfolio of services and offer its clients
comprehensive solutions in the sports sector but will also strengthen its presence in Europe and worldwide by creating
synergies with the competences of Egis Group and the Egis Architecture line.

FIA is one of the world’s top stadium design firms, with more than 40 awards to its name. They designed and built three
of the eight stadiums for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a true feat for any architectural firm in a World Cup.
With more than 20 years of experience in sports architecture, their expertise led to the creation of the most innovative
stadium ever built for a World Cup – the first demountable structure, made of reusable transport containers, Stadium 974,
and the first cooling system in an open-air stadium, Education City Stadium.
“Joining the Egis Group and Egis’ Architecture Line is a great opportunity to take our company to the next level and to
develop the potential of our teams in synergy with the technical capabilities of Egis and its architectural firms, particularly
in the world of sport with a sustainable approach: a shared vision of both companies”. Mark Fenwick and Javier Iribarren,
FIA Senior Partners.
“We are delighted to welcome FIA to Egis’ Architecture Line. Their extraordinary talent, innovative mindset and
commitment to excellence and sustainability align perfectly with our goals. We look forward to working with FIA to deliver
inspiring, state-of-the-art sports facilities across the world which enhance the athlete and fan experience”, said Thomas
