Mind-Blowing Stadiums Built on or Near the Water

4. Arena da Amazônia – Brazil

Located in Manaus, deep in the Amazon rainforest, Arena da Amazônia sits near the Rio Negro, one of the most important tributaries of the Amazon River. The stadium’s design takes inspiration from the indigenous culture and the natural environment, with a lattice structure resembling a woven basket. It’s a stunning example of sustainability, using rainwater collection and ventilation techniques to reduce energy consumption.
