Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) President and Chief Executive Officer Vince Dizon<\/strong> welcomed the recognition and congratulated Budji+Royal Architecture+Design, the architectural partner for the stadium, as well as the thousands of workers who made the Athletics Stadium a reality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe thank the World Architecture Festival for giving its nod to the New Clark City Athletics Stadium. It is another testament to the ingenuity of the stadium\u2019s design and structure. Indeed, this is more proof that Filipinos can also be champions in producing outstanding facilities that are on par with other architectural masterpieces in the world,\u201d\u00a0Dizon\u00a0said.<\/p>\n

New Clark City Athletics Stadium is the first major sports hub constructed by the government since the completion of the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex in 1934.\u00a0It is also the first-ever facility in the country to receive a Class 1 certification from the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF).<\/p>\n

With a 20,000-seating capacity, a nine-lane 400-meter track and field, and another four-lane warm-up track, the stadium served as a venue for the 30th Southeast Asian Games in 2019. It was previously nominated as one of the top 10 best stadiums in the world at the annual Stadium of the Year Awards.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>To have this opportunity to share the New Clark City Athletics Stadium\u2019s authentic nature and identity with our colleagues and an international audience makes me really very happy and proud. That was the objective anyway\u2013to present our variety as modern Filipinos through architecture and design,\u201d\u00a0Royal Pineda,\u00a0<\/b>principal architect and CEO of Budji+Royal, said.<\/p>\n

Currently, the team is preparing to present for the festival.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow to best express the story behind the Athletics Stadium is critical. I\u2019d like to be able to make the jury and audience discover and understand the status of our nation, our memories, and aspirations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
