Stadiums With Stunning Glass Roofs That Let Nature Be Part of the Game

9. Johan Cruyff Arena, Amsterdam – A Legacy of Innovation

Originally known as Amsterdam Arena, the Johan Cruyff Arena is home to AFC Ajax and is one of Europe’s pioneering stadiums in utilizing a fully retractable glass roof. The roof design allows maximum daylight penetration, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating a naturally vibrant playing environment. Beyond aesthetics, the glass roof enhances sustainability efforts, integrating solar panels and rainwater collection systems, making it one of the most eco-conscious stadiums in the world. The update in 2018 further improved the structure's energy efficiency, making it an excellent model for stadium sustainability and architectural brilliance.
