Our expertise

SCAU brings decades of experience in the design, redevelopment and integration of major stadiums and sports facilities, including venues delivered for FIFA World Cups, UEFA European Championships and other international sporting events.

Its expertise extends beyond the stadium building itself. SCAU explores how sports venues interact with their urban surroundings, how they can accommodate additional functions and how stadium developments can create value for clubs, cities and communities beyond matchday.

From iconic large-scale venues to complex renovation and mixed-use projects, SCAU combines architectural design, engineering and urban thinking to create stadiums that respond to sporting, operational, commercial and community requirements.

For ESSMA members, SCAU brings extensive experience from landmark stadium projects alongside a forward-looking perspective on how the role of the stadium within the city continues to evolve.
