Black Star Plaza#

The plaza lies on the main axis between the transit hub and the National Gateway. A large black star stands directly in its fountain. On matchdays it is a fan zone; on other days it is a public square for gatherings, national celebrations and everyday use.

Crowds walking across a plaza toward the stadium entrance at dusk, with a large black star sculpture in a fountain and a lit LED facade above. — The main public entrance. A black star stands in the fountain on axis with the doors; the stadium name sits on the canopy rim.

National Football Academy and training pitches#

The academy headquarters sits beside five floodlit training pitches. It is planned for youth and elite players, with classrooms, coaching space and accommodation, so education and training share one site.

Testing, rehabilitation, sports medicine and research for athletes across disciplines, close enough to the pitches for daily use by the academy and national teams.

Athlete residence#

Accommodation for national teams in camp, visiting squads and academy athletes, next to the training ground. Shown in the masterplan; no dedicated visualisation yet.

Hotel, conference hall and sky bridge#

Retail, dining and promenade#

A promenade of shops, restaurants and shaded public space along the campus edge, open every day.

Transit hub, buses and parking#

A bus and rapid transit interchange brings visitors to the head of the plaza. Car and coach parking sits at the campus edge to keep the centre pedestrian.

Transport modes shown are conceptual. They are not approved public transport links, and they depend entirely on the eventual site and on national and city transport plans.

Bus interchange under a white lattice canopy with supporters crossing toward the stadium. — A proposed bus and rapid transit interchange, a short walk from the gates. Transport modes are conceptual.

Energy infrastructure#

Solar canopies over parking, solar glazing on the outer roof and a battery backed campus microgrid are proposed. Output and self sufficiency figures are deliberately not given until an energy study exists.

Aerial of solar panel canopies over car parks beside the stadium campus. — Solar canopies over parking and the energy centre, as part of a solar first concept. Performance has not been modelled.

The campus mix, sizes and phasing would be set by feasibility and demand studies. See the site masterplan drawing A-010 and the roadmap.
