Forest Green Rovers F.C. Introduces Design Of First All-Wood Stadium

In a day and age where stadiums are becoming shinier, newer and more contemporary, Forest Green Rovers F.C. is pushing the limits of innovation and sustainability even further. After a seven-month competition, the team has selected a winning design for its new soccer stadium – and it will be almost entirely made of wood.

The new facility, which will be located in Stroud, U.K., was designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, the same firm that has worked on the Olympic Park project in London and designed a stadium for the 2022 World Cup.

This is the first stadium to be built entirely of wood.
