Built in 2010 with a 1.6 billion construction cost, this stadium has an open-air bowl with a partial canopy roof covering seating areas, which makes it one of its kind. The venue became the centrepiece as it hosted the conclusion of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, with fans from across the globe tuning in to see Chelsea’s thrilling 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain, with the semi-finals, one quarter-final and five group stage fixtures also taking place here.
