Abstract
Even though the Sport Club Corinthians Paulista has one of the most successful soccer teams in Brazil, the club has been waiting for decades for its own stadium. With the FIFA decision that the world cup 2014 will take in Brazil, the Corinthians were able to find sufficient financial
support for the new Corinthians Arena. The team of Werner Sobek Stuttgart was selected for the design development of the concrete structure, and for all design phases of the very slender and elegant steel roof structure which spans almost 200 m with a perceptible structural height of 3 m only. The following article describes briefly the stadium design, and explains in detail the structural systems of the concrete structure and the steel roof. The
article concludes with an explanation of the construction sequences and the structural analysis.
