Sheik Zayed Stadium – design description

This grand complex may look like it was designed for another rich Arab team and that's not the wrong impression. Financed from the United Arab Emirates, it's expected to become the new home for Dynamo Brest, acquired by UAE capital in conjunction with Diego Maradona.

The main concept is for the area to resemble a galaxy from above, with all secondary uses circulating around the central point: 30,000-capacity main stadium. All that would be built beside the northern ring-road of Brest (M1), in possibly the best place for such development.

Aside from the large stadium, the project includes creation of two hotels (180+250 rooms, 28,000 m² combined), commercial centre (3,000 m²), office building (30,000 m²) and Maradona's training academy with a 1,000-seat stadium.

All these uses would be connected with carefully landscaped recreational areas and parking sufficient to accommodate 2,200 cars.
