A Chinese state-owned company has completed the first lifting of the steel structure of Serbia’s National Stadium, which will be the world’s first garden stadium. According to information released by the NSC portal, the arena, located in Belgrade, will have 52 thousand seats, 76 thousand square meters of total area, 12.6 thousand tons of steel, and four rings of gardens suspended by cables that will make the terraces appear to float around the arena, in a project worth R$ 6 billion with completion expected by the end of 2026.The project is being executed by the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), a Chinese state-owned company responsible for the design, manufacturing, and installation of the stadium’s steel structure. 

The groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 1, 2024, on Labor Day, and the first lifting of the metal structure was recently completed, instead of a conventional concrete or glass facade, the arena will have four giant rings composed of gardens and leisure areas supported by a complex network of steel cables, in a suspension engineering considered unique in the world. 

Why Serbia is investing R$ 6 billion in this project: the country does not have any stadium that simultaneously meets the standards of the FIFA World Cup and UEFA continental competitions, and the arena will be the new home of the Serbian national football team.
