The New Cairo Multisport Arena was conceived as a landmark facility within Egypt’s new Administrative Capital, designed to host up to 15,000 spectators for major international competitions. Initiated in 2019, it represents one of the country’s most ambitious sports infrastructure projects. As the only non-Egyptian team involved in the masterplan and the design and conception of the Multisport hall, Studio MAAC brought its expertise in large-scale arenas to create Africa’s largest and most technically advanced indoor venue.
The project responds to a dual ambition: to symbolize Egypt’s modernization and to provide a world-class, multifunctional facility integrating aesthetics, performance, and efficiency. Its design combines architectural simplicity with cultural resonance, evoking a modern reinterpretation of the Bedouin tent: an elegant, compact, and climatically responsive structure that blends innovation with identity.
