OMA / David Gianotten have finalized the schematic design for the new Feyenoord Stadium at the Maas. With 63,000 seats the new stadium will be the largest football stadium in the Netherlands. An iconic structure partly located over the river Maas, the stadium design represents the DNA of Feyenoord’s current stadium De Kuip, with a perfect bowl shape formed by continuous curved tiers in close proximity to the pitch.
From each seat, visitors will have a sensational view onto the pitch. The stadium is multifunctional and can be programmed with a variety of large-scale events such as concerts and congresses on non- match days. The main concourse around the stadium, designed with Lola Landscape, offers a unique public space with views both into the stadium and over the river and Rotterdam’s skyline.
Descripción del proyecto por OMA Description of project by OMA
A historically significant stadium due to its distinctive design, with the oval stands positioned close to the pitch so audience and players are in intimate proximity, De Kuip is known for its unique and intense atmosphere. Built 80 years ago, the current stadium of Rotterdam-based football club Feyenoord no longer fulfills modern demands. To facilitate the football club’s expanding ambitions both in the national and European football leagues, multiple plans for a new and renovated stadium have been made and presented over the past decade, none of which received final approval. In 2016, Operatie NL, OMA and Feyenoord proposed a different approach: the construction of a new stadium combined with the development of the surrounding neighborhood.
In collaboration with the football club and the municipality of Rotterdam, OMA has developed the Feyenoord City Masterplan, introducing a new 63,000-seat stadium that will function as catalyst for the urban development of Rotterdam Zuid, one of the neighborhoods of the city in need of rejuvenation and economic injection. After careful consideration of three potential project sites, a location at the waterfront, northwest to the neighborhood De Veranda, was selected. OMA’s masterplan for Feyenoord City consists of five main elements: a new and larger stadium for Feyenoord, renovation of De Kuip, and development of the Urban Bridge, the Strip and the Kuip Park.
The current stadium De Kuip is to be renovated and redeveloped into apartments, commercial space, an athletics sports center and a public square. The area surrounding the stadium, de Kuip Park, will offer green space for sport and leisure activities as well as residential units. De Strip, a three-dimensional pedestrian walkway, will connect the old stadium with the new stadium and include new public and commercial space as well as parking facilities. Additionally, Feyenoord City will be connected to the Laan op Zuid through The Urban Bridge, a promenade for slow traffic.
Located between the river Maas, the railway and the highway, the stadium is positioned at an infrastructural node, ensuring accessibility by car, bus and public transport. The new infrastructure and stadium development is accompanied by an extensive social program with sports at its core. Feyenoord will set up a new multi sports club for the residents of Rotterdam Zuid, and cooperate with the surrounding neighborhoods to encourage sports participation.
In total, the program of Feyenoord City consists of 255.000m² housing; 64.000m² commercial space including a new cinema, restaurants, hotels, and shops and 83.000m² public program including a sports experience centre and sports fields. Besides providing a new home to football club Feyenoord and renovating De Kuip for future uses, OMA’s Feyenoord City masterplan aims to spark the redevelopment of Rotterdam Zuid, activate its waterfront and to reconnect this part of the city to the surrounding neighborhoods.

Un estadio de importancia histórica debido a su diseño distintivo, con los soportes ovalados ubicados cerca del campo de juego para que el público y los jugadores se encuentren en una proximidad íntima, De Kuip es conocido por su atmósfera única e intensa. Construido hace 80 años, el actual estadio del club de fútbol Feyenoord con sede en Rotterdam ya no cumple con las exigencias modernas. Para facilitar la expansión de las ambiciones del club de fútbol tanto en las ligas de fútbol nacionales como en las europeas, se han realizado y presentado múltiples planes para un estadio nuevo y renovado durante la última década, ninguno de los cuales recibió la aprobación final. En 2016, Operatie NL, OMA y Feyenoord propusieron un enfoque diferente: la construcción de un nuevo estadio combinado con el desarrollo del vecindario circundante.
En colaboración con el club de fútbol y el municipio de Rotterdam, OMA ha desarrollado el plan maestro de Feyenoord City, presentando un nuevo estadio de 63,000 asientos que funcionará como catalizador para el desarrollo urbano de Rotterdam Zuid, uno de los vecindarios de la ciudad que necesitan Rejuvenecimiento e inyección económica. Luego de una cuidadosa consideración de tres sitios potenciales para el proyecto, se seleccionó un lugar en la línea de costa, al noroeste del vecindario De Veranda. El plan maestro de OMA para Feyenoord City consta de cinco elementos principales: un estadio nuevo y más grande para Feyenoord, la renovación de De Kuip y el desarrollo del Puente Urbano, la Franja y el Parque Kuip.
El estadio actual De Kuip se renovará y se convertirá en apartamentos, espacios comerciales, un centro deportivo de atletismo y una plaza pública. El área que rodea el estadio, de Kuip Park, ofrecerá espacios verdes para actividades deportivas y de ocio, así como unidades residenciales. De Strip, una pasarela peatonal tridimensional, conectará el antiguo estadio con el nuevo estadio e incluirá nuevos espacios públicos y comerciales, así como también instalaciones de estacionamiento. Además, Feyenoord City estará conectada a Laan op Zuid a través de The Urban Bridge, un paseo para el tráfico lento.
Ubicado entre el río Maas, el ferrocarril y la carretera, el estadio está ubicado en un nodo de infraestructura, lo que garantiza la accesibilidad en automóvil, autobús y transporte público. La nueva infraestructura y el desarrollo del estadio están acompañados por un extenso programa social con deportes en su núcleo. Feyenoord creará un nuevo club deportivo múltiple para los residentes de Rotterdam Zuid y cooperará con los vecindarios de los alrededores para fomentar la participación deportiva.
En total, el programa de Feyenoord City consta de 255.000 m² de vivienda; Espacio comercial de 64.000 m² que incluye un nuevo cine, restaurantes, hoteles y tiendas, y un programa público de 83.000 m² que incluye un centro de experiencia deportiva y campos deportivos. Además de proporcionar un nuevo hogar al club de fútbol Feyenoord y la renovación de De Kuip para usos futuros, el plan maestro Feyenoord City de OMA tiene como objetivo desencadenar la remodelación de Rotterdam Zuid, activar su línea de costa y volver a conectar esta parte de la ciudad con los vecindarios circundantes.
Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) is an international practice operating within the traditional boundaries of architecture and urbanism. AMO, a research and design studio, applies architectural thinking to domains beyond. OMA is led by eight partners – Rem Koolhaas, Reinier de Graaf, Ellen van Loon, Shohei Shigematsu, Iyad Alsaka, Chris van Duijn, Jason Long, and Managing Partner-Architect David Gianotten – and maintains offices in Rotterdam, New York, Hong Kong, Doha, and Australia. OMA-designed buildings currently under construction are the renovation of Kaufhaus des Westens (KaDeWe) in Berlin, The Factory in Manchester, Hangzhou Prism, the CMG Times Center in Shenzhen and the Simone Veil Bridge in Bordeaux.
OMA’s completed projects include Taipei Performing Arts Centre (2022), Audrey Irmas Pavilion in Los Angeles (2020), Norra Tornen in Stockholm (2020), Axel Springer Campus in Berlin (2020), MEETT Toulouse Exhibition and Convention Centre (2020), Galleria in Gwanggyo (2020), WA Museum Boola Bardip (2020), nhow RAI Hotel in Amsterdam (2020), a new building for Brighton College (2020), and Potato Head Studios in Bali (2020). Earlier buildings include Fondazione Prada in Milan (2018), Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow (2015), De Rotterdam (2013), CCTV Headquarters in Beijing (2012), Casa da Música in Porto (2005), and the Seattle Central Library (2004).
AMO often works in parallel with OMA's clients to fertilize architecture with intelligence from this array of disciplines. This is the case with Prada: AMO's research into identity, in-store technology, and new possibilities of content-production in fashion helped generate OMA's architectural designs for new Prada epicenter stores in New York and Los Angeles. In 2004, AMO was commissioned by the European Union to study its visual communication, and designed a colored "barcode" flag, combining the flags of all member states, which was used during the Austrian presidency of the EU. AMO has worked with Universal Studios, Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, Heineken, Ikea, Condé Nast, Harvard University and the Hermitage. It has produced Countryside: The Future, a research exhibited at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York; exhibitions at the Venice Architecture Biennale, including Public Works (2012), Cronocaos (2010), and The Gulf (2006); and for Fondazione Prada, including When Attitudes Become Form (2012) and Serial and Portable Classics (2015). AMO, with Harvard University, was responsible for the research and curation of the 14th Venice Architecture Biennale and its publication Elements. Other notable projects are Roadmap 2050, a plan for a Europe-wide renewable energy grid; Project Japan, a 720-page book on the Metabolism architecture movement (Taschen, 2010); and the educational program of Strelka Institute in Moscow.
