Fenwick Iribarren Architects was commissioned to develop the New National Stadium of Serbia in Belgrade. The stadium will be the driving force behind the development of a new district around the Sava and Danube rivers on the outskirts of the city.

It is located in the municipality of Sucrin, 13.5 km from the center of Belgrade and 5.4 km from Nikola Tesla Airport. With 4,500 parking spaces, the project will cover approximately 32 hectares, making it highly significant for the city’s future in the vicinity of the expo that will host Expo 2027.

The design envisions a circular stadium with a capacity of 52,000 spectators, meeting the requirements for hosting national team matches and major international UEFA/FIFA events from the outset. Its unique and original facade is composed of four “suspended rings” connected by cables that include garden areas.

About the project

The stadium will feature three levels of landscaped gardens surrounding the entire stadium, making it unique in the world. Another innovative aspect of the garden stadium is its transformation into a  year-round public space.

Thanks to this design and the creation of garden areas within the various rings of the stadium, designed as accessible hanging gardens, the citizens of Belgrade, pedestrians, and tourists can enjoy a natural environment.

The stadium’s surroundings will also have cafes, kiosks, dining, and leisure areas distributed around the perimeter, creating the concept of a “green” stadium with unique and sustainable walkable areas.

FENWICK IRIBARREN WILL BRING A GREEN AND NATURAL FACADE TO THE CITY OF BELGRADE.

With the team’s experience in sustainable projects, the primary goal is to offer a design that is highly energy-efficient, intelligent in its operation, and environmentally friendly.

Simultaneously, efforts will be made to ensure the stadium functions effectively not only during major tournaments but also in the future, hosting all types of events. This will provide a real estate legacy for the city of Belgrade, balancing creativity and innovation with practicality and commercial sensibility.
