Gensler, in collaboration with El Qalaa El Hamraa and Buro Happold, is designing Al-Ahly Football Club stadium.

This long-awaited, 42,000-seat venue will serve as a landmark for sports and large-scale events in the region.

Strategically located between Cairo and Alexandria near Sphinx International Airport, the stadium’s design overcomes site challenges with an innovative, partially sunken structure to meet height restrictions and enhance sustainability.

The venue also features a digital façade for dynamic projections, making it a striking addition to Cairo’s skyline.
