Services:
Realization of a multi-
purpose arena as a two-
tiered stadium for 30.000
spectators with football
pitch and running track
including technical facilities
and infrastructure
The first stage of the project was awarded
end of 2010 as “Early works”. This stage
includes the design of the stadium, the site
installation works, as well as the execution
of a retention lake and an outfall drain.
The Stadium Phase I, including the main
bowl and part of the infrastructure works, was
awarded end of February 2012. Phases II &
III, the supplementary infrastructure works
and facilities have been approved by the
Government in August 2012, meaning that
the entire sports complex will be realized by
Julius Berger Nigeria.
The plot is located in the south west of the
city of Uyo at Ring Road 3, allowing easy
access for spectators and visitors.
The multi-purpose arena is a two-
tiered stadium for approximately 30.000
spectators. The facility inlcudes a 68 x 105
metre football pitch which is surrounded by
a 400 metre running track for international
athletic events.
The Grand Stand accommodates alongside
the functional area for athletes and operative
staff a VVIP and VIP zone including the
Governor´s Viewing Lounge with seating
platform and lounge. The Grand Stand
structure is completely separated from
the rest of the tribunes to demonstrate its
dedicated importance as well as for security
related reasons.
The stadium will be enclosed by a white
triangular shaped outer skin that wraps
around the entire stands area, East Stand &
Curves. The enclosure comprises flat semi-
translucent acrylic glass tiles with randomly
arranged openings in the form of “eyes”.
The facade of the Grand Stand is made of
vertical orientated panels. The roof structure
with trapezoidal sheet metal decking is
covering all Stands and is designed with
efficient overlapping.
An additional training pitch and parking
facilities for public transport systems, as
well as for private cars are also part of the
project.
Furthermore an independent technical area
with facilities to operate the stadium will be
provided. A sewage treatment plant, a water
reservoir and a workshop building are part of
this dedicated area.
