Vietnam unveils world’s largest stadium plans in Hanoi
Vietnam’s VinFast–Trong Dong Stadium will be the world’s largest in 2027, seating 135,000 and hosting major sports, culture, and entertainment events.
Vingroup has joined forces with Legends Global to oversee and run VinFast – Trong Dong Stadium in Hanoi, which will become the largest stadium in the world when it opens on July 31, 2027. The 135,000-seat facility will serve as a hub for major sporting, cultural, and entertainment gatherings, with Legends Global contributing its expertise in venue management, event logistics, and international event acquisition.
The stadium’s architecture merges cutting-edge infrastructure with Vietnamese cultural elements, drawing inspiration from the Dong Son bronze drum and the Lac bird. Among its standout features are a FIFA-standard pitch, a motorized retractable roof, and sophisticated crowd-movement tracking systems. This project is part of the Hung Vuong International Sports Complex, which will also include training centers, retail spaces, and cultural venues.

The collaboration aims to strengthen local capabilities in venue operations, ensuring the stadium aligns with international benchmarks. Nguyen Viet Quang, Vingroup’s CEO, framed the development as more than a sports facility, calling it a global platform for high-profile gatherings.
Dan Levy, CEO of Legends Global, noted that the stadium would help establish Hanoi as a leader in the live events sector. The partnership includes hiring for the stadium’s operational staff.
