UEFA guide to quality stadiums

"UEFA has issued a special guide aimed at helping those who are engaged in the commissioning, design or (re)construction of a stadium. The objective is to present an easy-to-read set of guidelines covering all the issues related to stadium design and construction, from inception through to the opening ceremony," said UEFA in the presentation of the 160 page document called "UEFA guide to quality stadiums" on 11/08/2014.

"Stadiums are at the heart of the professional game. They are where the action is played out, where the highs and lows are experienced, where history is made. Top-quality stadiums are vital to the comfort, safety and security of the spectators, players, officials, media and staff," said Gianni Infantino, general secretary of UEFA (Union of European Football Associations), in the foreword of the document.

"Our vision was to develop a comprehensive but accessible step-by-step guide to stadium design and construction that lays out the various processes and many of the issues involved," added Gianni Infantino.
