Experts from L35 Arquitectos design a unique football stadium for the city of Ostrava
The winning studio, L35 Arquitectos, is an urban planning, architecture, and design studio with offices in Barcelona , Madrid , Paris , Milan , Miami , Mexico City , Bogotá, Santiago , Istanbul , and Abu Dhabi . Its portfolio includes a wide range of projects—from train stations and shopping centers to urban revitalizations and stadiums. The winning architectural proposal was preceded by essential research and feasibility studies to expand the stadium's capacity and prepare the architectural competition. The next steps include developing the final design documentation and obtaining the necessary permits, with construction expected to begin ideally in 2029.
The new football stadium will host international matches, including games of the Czech national football team. Its return to Bazaly, where the club played for 56 years since 1959, symbolizes a homecoming. The stadium aims for BREEAM certification, incorporating the latest technologies in sustainability and energy efficiency. It will include a club museum, restaurants, fan shops, and other services. Current cost estimates stand at CZK 2.5 billion, subject to refinement as design progresses. The seating capacity is planned for approximately 19,500–20,000 spectators.

The jury included renowned architects Valerie Mulvin ( Dublin ), Derek Wilson ( London ), András Borbély ( Budapest ), Martin Bělkovský (Brno/ Vienna ), Martin Tycar ( Prague ), Tomáš Vymetálek (Hradec Králové), and Tadeáš Goryczka (Ostrava). Representatives of the city and FC Baník Ostrava also took part, along with experts in sports, sustainability, fire safety, budgeting, and structural engineering. Ostrava's commitment to exceptional architectural quality has led to numerous design competitions.
The city's New City Hall, the largest in the Czech Republic and now a national cultural monument, also emerged from an architectural competition a century ago, as did the recent reconstructions of the historic City Slaughterhouse and the House of Culture with its new concert hall.
