Hellas Verona select Gensler for new stadium project
Hellas Verona FC has announced that it has selected Gensler, one of the world’s leading architecture and design firms, for the design of the Club’s new, state-of-the-art stadium in the area currently occupied by the Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium. This appointment follows the submission of the project feasibility study to the Municipality of Verona in November 2025.
Gensler is internationally recognized for its expertise in architecture, design and the delivery of multi-use sports and entertainment venues. In order to pair this global experience with strong knowledge of the Italian stadium and real estate context, Gensler will work alongside a highly qualified team of professionals, including Sportium and ARUP, under the coordination of Colliers as project manager. Together, the team brings a combination of international design excellence, technical capability and local market expertise.
“This announcement reflects our long-term commitment to the fans, the Club and the city. It represents a significant step toward shaping the future of Hellas Verona by delivering a venue of the highest international standards — a home that our supporters and the entire Verona community can be proud of,” said Dirk Swaneveld, Managing Director at Presidio Investors.
As the project progresses, the Club will actively engage with fans, local residents and businesses through focus groups and surveys, so that the voices of the Verona community can help inform the stadium’s development. While the Club continues to view UEFA Euro 2032 as an exciting opportunity for the city of Verona, the new stadium project is not contingent on the tournament.
