Rise International has designed the FSC Stadium of Life in Maseru, Lesotho.

The FSC Stadium of Life is Africa's first FSC-certified timber stadium, bringing together sport, culture, nature and social impact in one unique space.

The stadium is the home ground for Kick4Life's teams and is a venue for a wide range of sports-based social development programmes.

The facility also includes a unique 'Biodiversity Stand' showcasing indigenous plants from across the region, as well as an outdoor amphitheatre – the Theatre of Life – where a wide range of educational sessions and cultural performances are held.

The FSC Stadium of Life exemplifies a paradigm shift in sports infrastructure, combining sustainability, social impact and cultural representation.
