Aberdeen have unveiled plans for a new £38million super stadium that will glow red in the dark.

Following widespread public consultation and engagement with the fans, Aberdeen Football Club has lodged a planning application for its new stadium at Loriston Loch.

The state of the art 21,000 sports stadium, designed by The Miller Partnership, will provide an iconic landmark to the southern gateway of the city. The stadium is orientated east to west with the main stand located to the south with an ideal vantage point over the loch.

The UEFA category 3 development will feature hospitality suites, facilities for the players, supporters, the wider community as well as housing club offices, car and coach parking and a club museum.

The Stade Vélodrome will increase its seating capacity by 2016, when France will host the UEFA Euro 2016. It will be called Nouveau Stade Vélodrome (New Stade Vélodrome) and it will continue to host games for Olympique de Marseille. Currently it holds 60,031 spectators, but after its construction it will be able to hold 80,000 (the same capacity as the Stade de France). The expected cost of the expansions is €150 million.

The expansion and modernization of equipment that are part of the French bid to organize Euro 2016. But even if France does not wins this championship, "the project will of course be pursued", says the mayor of Marseille, Jean-Claude Gaudin. The dossier submitted by Gaudin also provides for the creation of a new district.

Wolves have unveiled exciting plans for a 40million pound redevelopment of Molineux which would take its capacity to 36,000 in time for the start of the 2014/15 season.

The project, which will be submitted for local authority approval in late July, was made public to local residents for the first time on Thursday night as part of a consultation meeting. The club's vision comprises of four phases, although planning permission will only initially be sought for the first three phases.

Chief executive Jez Moxey said: "These plans represent an exciting vision for the redevelopment of Molineux, which our chairman Steve Morgan had when he first acquired the club in 2007. His commitment to Wolves and his investment has helped us develop both on and off the field, culminating in the team retaining its Premier League status for the coming season."

At a much-anticipated unveiling at Sport Accord, Dubai - the world's largest sport convention - Qatar 2022 announced details of a number of its stadia, and the world-first, carbon-neutral technology it will use to cool stadiums, fan fests/zones and training sites if Qatar is chosen to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup – paving the way for the first ever cooled outdoor global sporting event.

The bid unveiled five eco-friendly, carbon-neutral stadia to media fanfare in Dubai in April. The five stadia are: Al-Khor, Al-Wakrah, Al-Shamal, Al-Rayyan and Al-Gharafa .

Each of the five stadiums will harness the power of the suns rays to provide a cool environment for players and fans by converting solar energy into electricity that will then be used to cool both fans and players at the stadiums. When games are not taking place, the solar installations at the stadia will export energy onto the power grid. During matches, the stadia will draw energy from the grid. This is the basis for the stadiums’ carbon-neutrality.
