A stadium that has rightfully earned its place as one of the best architecturally significant buildings in Bilbao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>What\u00b4s known as <em>The Cathedral<\/em> stands as <strong>a global benchmark in engineering and sustainability<\/strong>, with several awards to its name, positioning the red-and-white stadium as one of the best sports stadiums in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>Inaugurated in September 2013 in its first phase and completed two years later, the <strong>new San Mam\u00e9s<\/strong> was developed as a response to the need to modernize the stadium, maintaining its historical essence while equipping it with cutting-edge technological and environmental advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>Its structure, with steep stands that bring the public closer to the pitch and a lightweight ETFE roof that maximizes natural light, has been praised for merging functionality, aesthetics, and respect for the urban environment of the Nervi\u00f3n estuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>San Mam\u00e9s: The World&#8217;s Best Sports Building in 2015<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>Among its most outstanding achievements is the award for <strong>World&#8217;s Best Sports Building<\/strong>, presented in November 2015 by the <strong>World Architecture Festival (WAF) in Singapore<\/strong>. This award, one of the most prestigious in the field of contemporary architecture, recognized the stadium&#8217;s harmonious integration into Bilbao\u00b4s cityscape, combined with its ability to generate a unique atmosphere during matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>That same year, San Mam\u00e9s was nominated for and won the <strong>Stadium of the Year<\/strong> award at the <strong>World Stadium Congress in Doha, Qatar<\/strong>, where the judges highlighted its &#8220;technical complexity and historical narrative.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>The expansion of its roof in 2017, a masterpiece of structural engineering, also gained worldwide acclaim. That year it received the <strong>Structural Awards<\/strong> in the Long Span Structures category, an international award that celebrates the best innovations in large-scale structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>Furthermore, the same roof was recognized at the <strong>Third Annual Engineering Awards<\/strong> of the Scientific-Technical Association of Construction (ACHE) as the best facade and roof structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A stadium committed to sustainability<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>One of the most important aspects of <strong>San Mam\u00e9s<\/strong> is its <strong>sustainability<\/strong>. In fact, it became the first Spanish football stadium to obtain <strong>LEED<\/strong> <strong>certification<\/strong> (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), a green seal that validates its environmentally friendly practices, such as the efficient use of energy and recyclable materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>In July 2020, this approach earned it an award in the <strong>Sports and Recreational Facilities<\/strong> category of the <strong>World Design Awards<\/strong>, presented by The Architecture Community, which praised its balance between form, function, and respect for the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>San Mam\u00e9s&#8217;s Safety<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>Beyond its architectural awards, the stadium stands out for its safety. In 2017, it obtained the <strong>UNE 179.003 Safety Certificate<\/strong>, making it the <strong>safest stadium in Europe<\/strong> according to DNV GL. That same year, it was chosen as the<strong> Best Stadium in the World<\/strong> at the World Football Summit in Madrid, highlighting its role in the global football industry. In June 2020, France Football included it in its list of the <strong>30 most vibrant stadiums in the world<\/strong>, ranking it ninth, in recognition of the energy emanating from its stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'><strong>Unique Experiences at San Mam\u00e9s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class='swing'>The current San Mam\u00e9s stadium offers <strong>unique experiences<\/strong>.
