At the heart of Sports Hub is the new National Stadium, a state-of-the-art 55,000 seat sports venue, air-cooled for comfort and designed with a movable roof and retractable seating to support the widest range of sports and leisure events throughout the year. It will be the first stadium in the world custom designed to host athletics, football, rugby and cricket all in one venue, converting from one mode to another within 48 hours.

With a span of over 310m, the National Stadium is the largest free spanning dome structure in the world – and an awe inspiring event space.

It provides cover from the sun and the rain both inside the stadium and outside, extending to create a protective canopy the for the ‘sports promenade’. 

As a new cultural icon, the design has focused on creating a close relationship with the city by opening the interior seating bowl and roof towards the waterfront and the city skyline providing spectators with breath-taking views.
