The tender for Dinamo stadium was announced by the Minsk City Executive Committee to nominate the most interesting architectural solution for the country’s key stadium, which unites classic architecture of the 1950s and modern architecture.
As per the announcement by the committee, the conceptual solutions from GMP International Gmbh Architects and Engineers will be used as the foundation. The members added that as a design organisation the company will take part in working out the detail project.
The stadium is expected to have a football field with natural grass, automatic watering and heating, seats for 40,000-41,000 people, including 500 VIP guests and 200 mass media guests, and a press centre. All the seats should offer good visibility and comfort for viewers. The space under the stands can also be utilised to place an underground parking lot for 300-500 cars and 3-4 buses, a cafe, restaurants, bars, souvenir stalls, shops.
The design also needs to be compliant with all the FIFA and UEFA requirements for fourth-category stadiums; and should involve safety matters as security, emergency exit, buffet organization, toilets and medical service, locker rooms for football teams, referees with the necessary infrastructure, artificial light systems, voice and visual information delivery systems, and advertising.
The project investment is expected to be determined after design work is completed.
