The Santiago Bernabéu Stadium renovation project at the World Stadiums and Arenas Awards 2026. This distinction joins other awards won by ENR, such as best global sports infrastructure. 

The Santiago Bernabéu, designed and built by FCC Construcción, has received various international awards, but we must highlight the award for best stadium in the world in 2024 by the World Football Summit (WFS), the leading platform for the global football industry. The award highlights the innovative features of the Santiago Bernabéu and its ambitious vision to redefine not only the landscape of sports stadiums, but also the cultural and economic  of Madrid.

It highlights the ‘unique innovation’ carried out by FCC Construcción in different aspects of the new Santiago Bernabéu, such as the construction of a state-of-the-art retractable pitch with an underground greenhouse, a 360-degree video scoreboard that wraps around the entire interior of the stadium, and the external digital skin that makes it a dynamic urban landmark. 

Its combination of cutting-edge technology, sustainability and multifunctionality sets a new standard for what a modern stadium can be. It is a turning point in the industry and a vital asset for Madrid's economy. The Santiago Bernabéu project exemplifies FCC Construcción's commitment to innovation, excellence and the development of solutions that set new standards in the industry.
