new suez stadium

The New Administrative Capital (NAC) (Arabic: العاصمة الإدارية الجديدة, romanized: al-ʿĀṣima al-ʾIdārīya al-Gadīda) is a new urban community in Cairo Governorate, Egypt and a satellite of the original capital, Cairo City. In May 2023, 14 ministries and government entities had relocated there. In April 2, 2024, president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took the constitutional oath for a third consecutive term in office, in front of Parliament there, officially inaugurating it as the new seat of government.
Plans for the new capital were announced by the then Egyptian housing minister Mostafa Madbouly at the Egypt Economic Development Conference on 13 March 2015. The capital city is considered one of the projects for economic development, and is part of a larger initiative called Egypt Vision 2030.
Over the years attempts were made to give the city a name, other than the New Administrative Capital. A competition was launched on the new capital's website to choose a new name and logo for the city. A jury of specialists was formed to evaluate the proposals submitted to list and determine the best among all the proposals. No official results were announced by the Egyptian Government. In October 2021, transportation minister Kamel al-Wazir indicated the city might be named "Wedian" (meaning "Riverbed" or "Valley"), or "Masr" (the Arabic equivalent of "Egypt"). Other proposed names include "Kemet", "Al Mustaqbal" and "Al Salam". However, by the time it was officially inaugurated in 2024, it had remained as the New Administrative Capital.
The new city is located 45 kilometres (28 miles) east of Cairo City and just outside the Regional Ring Road, in a largely undeveloped area halfway to the seaport city of Suez. On 700 square kilometres (270 sq mi) total area, it is expected to house a population of 6.5 million people, though it is estimated that the figure could rise to seven million.
The government stated that the undertaking of the project is to relieve congestion in Cairo. Cairo has a metropolitan population of nearly 20 million.
