  4. Allianz Stadium Masterplan Project

Allianz Stadium, Twickenham has been the home of England Rugby for over 100 years. In this time, the game has become an essential part of the fabric of the country and visiting Allianz Stadium is a highlight of many people’s year.

As the governing body for rugby union in England, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) is dedicated to enriching lives by introducing more people to rugby union and developing the sport for future generations.

All profit generated is reinvested into the game to support its growth at all levels, through community programmes and investment into player development, professional clubs, community clubs, and the England national teams.

Project Status

  • Ongoing
Like all businesses, the Rugby Football Union face financial pressures from economic challenges, rising costs, and the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these challenges lie in how they maximise and invest in their biggest asset, Allianz Stadium, which generates around 85% of their revenues.

Stadium Masterplan Project has been established to support the RFU to develop a vision and multi-year plan for the future that looks at how the stadium can maintain its reputation as a world-class entertainment venue for sports and concerts, and in turn generate more income, all while becoming an asset that local communities can be proud of.

WSP is excited to support the RFU on the stadium masterplan project, focusing on RIBA Stage 2. Our team is bringing expertise in Civil and Structural Engineering, as well as Transport Engineering and Planning, to ensure the success of this project.
