About Stadium Management Consulting SA

Stadium Management Consulting SA is a client-side advisory practice focused on programme governance for complex stadium and major sports infrastructure projects.

The company supports owners, public authorities and senior stakeholders at critical stages of project development, where early decisions have a disproportionate impact on cost, schedule, risk and long-term operational outcomes. SMC operates at the interface between the client, designers, PMCs and contractors, providing structure, clarity and decision discipline across complex delivery environments.

The advisory approach is grounded in unique senior-level delivery experience from major international sporting events, including stadium programmes and related infrastructure for FIFA World Cup tournaments. This background provides a deep understanding of how large-scale sports projects function in reality — under public scrutiny, political pressure, fixed deadlines and complex stakeholder frameworks — and informs a pragmatic, risk-aware advisory model.

SMC’s work typically focuses on the definition of employer’s requirements, governance of design development, and management of transitions from concept through procurement and delivery readiness. Particular emphasis is placed on aligning design intent, commercial strategy and delivery capability before irreversible commitments are made.

Engagements are selective and generally involve direct principal-level participation, supporting clients on high-visibility projects where governance, judgement and experience are critical to protecting both delivery and legacy objectives.
