Five Stars of FC Shakhtar Stadium to light up in 2008! |

FC Shakhtar's ambitious plans for a new iconic football stadium qualifying for FIFA and UEFA's 5-star accreditation have reached another exciting milestone. The famous Turkish ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. has been defined as the General Contractor, and the full-scale construction is about to begin. The General Contractor selection process started last year. It is one of the most important appointments for the Project and, therefore the Club allocated considerable time to the task. The candidates for general contractors were assessed according to specific criteria including experience of working in Eastern Europe, design and technical capability, financial resources, experience of delivering complex projects on time and within budget, competence in stadium features, quality control, and compliance with the standards of technical security and health and labor safety. Initial list of 225 international contractors was assessed and then reduced progressively to 25, 9, and, finally, 4 candidates. After a competitive tendering process and several interviews, the Turkish company ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. was selected. Due to the active mutual cooperation the contract negotiations were completed in two months - a great team effort by all those involved. The project of the stadium was chosen among 20 drafts submitted by the best international architects. The design selected unanimously by the Club was the one by Arup Sport. Their concept image fully meets the FIFA/UEFA Guidelines for 5-star accreditation. Because of its unique design the Stadium is bound to become the true modern symbol of the city and the new "home" for FC Shakhtar. It will harmoniously fit the landscape and environment of Leninskiy Komsomol Park.
Total budget of the project is $250M. This covers services of designers and architects, construction and land-surveying works, field construction, external and internal finishing works, landscape design and infrastructure development. The peculiar, recognizable features of the stadium will be the oval plate form, transparent roof and cover of the facade. At night the whole construction will shine like a diamond due to the special external lighting technology. The full-scale construction works will start right after the long-awaited presentation of the General Contractor - the Turkish ENKA Construction & Industry Co., Inc. Total contract value is $185M. To ensure that the project runs in accordance with the Club's Brief and FIFA and UEFA Guidelines, Shakhtar Club and ENKA will continue to call upon advice from football's governing bodies. ArupSport - world leader in design of 5-star sports venues, will continue to supervise the project, and, namely, keep track of the project developing, and ensure that the iconic features and operational efficiency are protected. Austin Reilly, the project director, continues to act as principal adviser to the Club, drawing upon his experience in designing, constructing and operating UEFA 5-star stadiums in UK and Portugal.
Stadion Shakhtar Limited was formed to act as the special purpose company to deliver the project and to act as Project Manager for the Club. Its responsibility is to work with the General Contractor to ensure that the project is delivered as specified (in compliance with the highest demands as to the construction quality), on budget and completed on time. ENKA is the largest construction contractor operating in Eastern Europe and, in particular, in Russia. It has a successful track record of completing, on time and within budget, huge and complex construction projects including air terminals, shopping malls, business centers and hotels. Of all the applicants, ENKA best understands the construction process and approval procedures on the territory of the former USSR. These differ considerably from those in Western Europe. ArupSport is an integral part of the international Ove Arup & Partners Limited, world leader in design of world-class sports venues. ArupSport's projects include the famous Sidney stadium, reconstructed for the 2000 Olympics, Beijing National stadium and pool, Millennium stadium in Cardiff, Bolton Club stadium, and the exciting stadium of Bayern club in Munich, which can be differently illuminated according to the rival clubs colors.
