The “Plug & Play Core”concept makes stadiums reusable at a different location thanks to its ease of dismantling, transport and reuse of the stadium core in a wide variety of designs.

The system consists of a steel main supporting structure with a floor and stand elements.

Ballast believe a stadium of any design can be created with these modules and the architectural shell of the stadium core allows ample design freedom.

Plug & Play Core is fully compatible with UEFA and FIFA requirements for stadiums.

It can be used for everything from complete stadiums to small stands which are able to adapt flexibly to the ambitions of the club.

The 2022 World Cup in Qatar is seen as a main country with the hosts having no further need for the stadiums once the tournament is over.

Ballast said: “The essence of Plug & Play Core is that the stadium complies with the requirements for permanent use, but with a core that is fully reusable and transportable.

“A Plug & Play Core stadium can be used elsewhere in the world when the World Cup is over, possibly with a different modular configuration.

“Plug & Play Core also changes the financing options for a stadium.

“There is no more need for investment in a permanent site, but instead in a reusable product with a clear residual value.”
