discovered through examining various cases and conducting interviews.
Communities gather in these locations. We therefore set out to create a
stadium that would serve all users, including families, individuals with
disabilities, and football enthusiasts. The ideas included utilizing eco-
friendly materials and smart technology to create a more contemporary and
sustainable stadium. In an effort to unite even more people, we also
considered the possibilities for using the stadium for other occasions,

systems, sensory-friendly features, and inclusive design important research
topics. The thesis commences its investigation by examining the historical
progression of sports, highlighting their crucial function in promoting
diversity and tearing down physical barriers. It provides a framework by
emphasizing how sports have become increasingly important in reflecting
society values. This historical context provides the framework for a thorough
examination of football stadium designs around the globe, focusing on both
inclusivity and functionality. It becomes an effort to carefully inspect current
football stadiums in order to find positive design elements and areas that
might use more work. Beyond just functionality, the emphasis is on
capturing the spirit of inclusivity and highlighting the necessity of designing
areas that meet the various needs of both soccer players and spectators. The
integration of inclusive settings that go beyond physical constraints is
essential to this research because it improves the overall experience for
people with a range of abilities.
