PROJECT: Velodrome renovation

Location: SLIVEN, Bulgaria

Year: 2024

The project “Open-air Velodrome Renovation” aims to upgrade the facility to a cutting edge sustainable, multifunctional sports and cultural venue.

Reaching а category 3 according to international cycling requirements it will be able to host national and international outdoor competitions in front of a seated audience.
The facility will be fully equipped to provide an opportunity for professional track cycling training!

Thermal wood for outdoor use has been chosen for the renovation of the track due to its low maintenance and high quality for professional cycling.
Other sports that spark the interest in cycling like pump track cycling are situated in the center of the facility. Athlete training on a running track supports all the sports practiced in the facility.
A mini football field will provide junior and unprofessional training and competition opportunities and that is where all good players arе to be found.

What is equally important is that the venue will be able to host various outdoor events like concerts, cinema and festivals.
Audience seats are partially covered in blue canopies roofed with solar panels providing the electrical power needed for the facility.

A new building attached to one side of the track will accommodate all of the needs of facility management, the local cycling clubs, visitors, VIP athletes, event participants as well as provide some commercial areas for profit.

The project for “Open-air Velodrome Renovation” goes beyond boosting the velodrome’s appearance. It’s about giving Bulgarian cycling the opportunity to develop its fullest potential. So cyclists, citizens and visitors, can benefit from the wonderful world of sport, cultural events and festivals.
