Rotterdam officials back new Feyenoord stadium plans
Rotterdam’s city council executive has given its backing to plans to develop a new stadium and entertainment complex for Feyenoord football club.
The total cost of the project, which will include hotels, housing and shops, is put at between €1bn and €1.5bn, of which the city itself is being asked to contribute €100m.
The new stadium will have space for 63,000 supporters and will be partly on the bank of the Meuse river, around one kilometre from the current Kuip stadium.
The design for the new complex is in the hands of Rem Koolhaas’ architects office OMA. If all goes according to plan, the new stadium will host its first match in the 2022/23 season.
Two previous efforts to win official backing for a new football stadium in the port city collapsed. The latest project still needs to win the approval of city councillors.
