Vietnam has begun constructing the world's largest football stadium with staggering images of the proposed 135,000-capacity venue having been released. The Hanoi Government officially approved plans to construct the Trong Dong Stadium in December as part of vast Olympic Sports City project, with the residential and sporting district expected to cost £28billion in total. According to the plans, the architecture of the stadium has been based around the Dong Son bronze drum. It would also exceed Morocco's Hassan II Stadium, which is being built ahead of the 2030 World Cup, with a capacity of around 115,000. A ground-breaking ceremony was held in December to start the construction project, with the Olympic Sports City split into four zones.
