Cable Stayed Bridge, 2016, - Spain
The new Estadio Wanda Metropolitano is a home for the Spanish Premier League soccer team Atletico Madrid. Originally built in 1990 as the host venue for the 1997 World Athletics Championship the unused stadium was bought in 2013 by Atletico Madrid and underwent intensive renovation. Now with a capacity of 67,703 seats it reopened for the first game of the La Liga season on 16th September 2017.
The renovation of the stadium includes a new lightweight tensile roof, which covers almost the entire seating area for an overall surface of 46,500m2 . The roof is made according to the bicycle spoke wheel construction principle, with an external steel compression ring and two internal tension rings made by FLC cables. Between the compression ring and the tension ring the system of radial cables is installed in order to support the PTFE membrane. The new Estadio Wanda Metropolitano also had the distinction of hosting the UEFA Champions League Final in 2019 between Liverpool FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC.
