As part of the already started masterplan of Feyenoord City, which since 2016 involves OMA and Lola Landscape in the redesign of an entire neighborhood, the updated and detailed design of the new stadium for the Dutch football club based in Rotterdam was presented to the Rotterdam Quality Team.
The construction, with a capacity of 63,000 spectators, will be the catalyst for an ambitious redevelopment of Rotterdam-Zuid, the southern part of the city. The masterplan, therefore, is aimed at improving the district’s connections with the rest of the city centre, through a programme that includes the construction of new residential buildings, a shopping centre, hotels, cinemas, restaurants and offices.
Here is the future Feyenoord Stadium, revealed by OMA
Presented on Friday to the municipality of Rotterdam, OMA’s drawings feature the updated project of the new structure that will host the Dutch football club.

Access route, stands, structure, climbing nuclei: architecturally, the stadium is the result of the naked recomposition of these functional elements, strongly declared in its external elevations. The building rests on a platform that links it to the context. The ground attack studied, according to the designers’ intentions, denies the typology of the stadium as a large autonomous and introverted ‘island’ to the city, and creates a new version of football structure, more easily accessible and multifunctional, which in this case further strengthens the layout of the masterplan, in connection with the continuous riverbank, which includes the tidal park (a marine park on the bank of the river Nieuwe Maas) and the ring road.
The main structure, secondly, is entirely metallic – in technical terms its called diagrid, a sequence of diagonally intersecting beams – in the shape of a bowl, whose external curvature almost winks at the geodesic domes of Buckminster Fuller. Finally, the rising cores are designed as rigid parallelepipeds: twelve slender concrete buildings, with different types of stairs and elevators inside, and evenly distributed along the perimeter of the stadium.
Construction work is scheduled to begin in 2022, with completion of the building in 2025. The project is led by OMA’s Managing Partner, architect David Gianotten, with associate Kees van Casteren and project architects Shinji Takagi and Sandra Bsat.
