Architecture studio KSS has designed a stadium<\/a> for the women’s team at Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club in England<\/a>, which would be the first of its kind in Europe if built.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club<\/a> announced this week that it is working with KSS<\/a> on a planning application for a 10,000-capacity women’s football<\/a> stadium next to the Amex Stadium.<\/p>\n

The club plans to complete the stadium by 2030. If built, it will become Europe’s first purpose-built women’s football stadium and the third in the world, following the CPKC Stadium in Missouri and a stadium in Colorado for Denver Summit Football Club that is currently under development.<\/p>\n

Facilities will be tailored to female athletes<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a planned minimum capacity of 10,000, the stadium will become a permanent home for Brighton’s women’s football team, which competes in the Women’s Super League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In KSS’s design for the stadium, a bridge connects to the adjacent 31,876-capacity Amex Stadium, aiming to form a link between the women’s and men’s venues.<\/p>\n

Facilities will be specially designed for female athletes and their supporters, including changing rooms, recovery spaces and social spaces.<\/p>\n

“For too long, women have had to adapt to facilities that weren’t designed with them in mind,” said Women’s Super League chief executive Nikki Doucet.<\/p>\n

“Now, players, managers, staff and fans will be able to experience a stadium designed through the lens of her and reimagine what inclusive, high-performance spaces can look like for everyone, because when we build for her, we build better for all,” she continued.<\/p>\n

Purpose-built women’s stadium “sends a strong message”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doucet added that the plans mark “a massive moment” for women’s football.<\/p>\n

“It sends a strong message about the commitment, belief and value that does exist in the women’s game, and it is a massive moment for the team, the fans, and the wider sport,” she added.<\/p>\n

“Brighton are building more than a stadium, they are building a society where equitable opportunity isn’t an ambition, it’s the standard.”<\/p>\n

In building a dedicated stadium, the Brighton football club hopes to reflect the women’s team’s identity, encourage repeat attendance from fans and further assist the growing interest in women’s football.<\/p>\n
