A bulbous, aluminium-clad stadium, designed by OFIS Arhitekti for Belarusian football club FC BATE Borisov, has been officially inaugurated two years after its scheduled opening date.
 -The 13,000 seat stadium features a shimmering aluminium exterior with circular windows, designed to give the impression of a perforated fabric skin stretched over the “skeleton” form of the domed building.

- The rounded shape was engineered to improve acoustics on the pitch, which is oriented north to south to ensure that sunlight is evenly distributed for both teams playing in a match.

- Approximately 3,000 square metres of public facilities are located on the ground level of the stadium, including restaurants, bars, shops, a bowling alley and a fitness centre.
