FCC is tasked with designing and building the International Broadcasting Centre, including indoor architecture and finishing work, and maintaining the IBC while it is being used by the media -radio and TV- reporting from the Olympic Games in London. The Centre will have a total floor area of 56,000 m2.

The IBC is scheduled to be finished by 30 April next, nearly three months before the Games begin. Up to 300 workers will participate in its construction. Once the Centre's facilities have been installed in the 56,000-m2 venue, the IBC will become the workplace for more than 20,000 media professionals from all over the world.

The broadcasts of the Olympic Games' opening and closing ceremonies, slated for 27 July and 12 August of next year, respectively, will be the headline media events. A US market study firm calculated that 4,400 million viewers all over the planet watched the 2008 China Olympics on TV, a record that the London organizers look forward to breaking in 2012.

UEFA 2012 European Football Championship Stadiums

FCC is thoroughly experienced at creating all kinds of infrastructure for top-ranked sporting events. Through its Austrian subsidiary Alpine, FCC has just completed construction of the PGE Arena Gdansk in Poland, a year before the 2012 European Football Championship kicks off.

This stadium, which is already one of Poland's largest sports venues, has the capacity for 44,000 spectators and will be the scene of several matches in the upcoming European UEFA Euro 2012, including the quarter finals.

Through Alpine, FCC was also responsible for building the Munich Arena, where the 2006 World Cup competition was opened, and Dubai Sports City Cricket Stadium. FCC's list of Spanish sports venue projects includes El Sardinero Stadium in Santander, El Español Stadium and the Real Madrid Sports City in Valdebebas. FCC has also remodelled Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Vicente Calderón Stadium and the Nou Camp facilities.
