As it stood in 2025

The shape it held in its prime.

A continuous multi-tier bowl with two main seating rings separated by broad balconies, the stands filled with dark-green seats; a rectangular natural-grass pitch at the centre; a sweeping cantilevered roof with exposed green-painted steel trusses and a yellow rim, anchored by prominent green cable masts; advertising LED ribbons at the ring balconies and wide concrete concourses; the scale suggests a 50–52k-seat modern stadium set within the Alvalade XXI urban complex.
