Australia, host of 2032 Olympics, is Webuild’s second biggest market with 16% of construction backlog as of June 30, 2025

MILAN, July 29, 2025 – Italian football is once again in the spotlight in Australia, as AC Milan prepares to face Perth Glory in an international friendly match during the Australian leg of its 2025 Pre-Season Tour. The match will take place on July 31 at HBF Park in Perth. For Webuild, AC Milan’s return to Perth recalls the 2024 match between AC Milan and AS Roma at Optus Stadium with more than 56,000 fans in attendance—an event made possible thanks in part to the Group’s support.

Always committed to youth and sport, the Group promotes Italian excellence around the world—not only through the construction of public works, but also by supporting cultural events that create a spirit of sharing and a collective passion. Alongside the Italian Sailing Federation (FIV) and Circolo Aniene in Rome, Webuild has supported the efforts of Olympic champion Caterina Banti, who, with determination, has repeatedly brought Italy to the top of the global podium. With its campaign “Webuild for Sport”, the Group promoted the values of sport by sharing the stories of Olympic athletes Alice Bellandi in judo, Caterina Banti in sailing, Zaynab Dosso and Antonella Palmisano in athletics, and Angela Carini in boxing. 

The Webuild Group builds infrastructure across the globe, from metro lines to high-speed rail, hydropower plants to water treatment plants, bridges to large, complex buildings.

With Australia responsible for 16 percent of its total construction backlog as of June 30, 2025, the country remains Webuild’s second most strategic market after Italy. Together with its local subsidiary Clough, the Group is involved in delivering some of the country’s most strategic, innovative, and sustainable infrastructure projects: from Snowy 2.0, Australia’s largest hydroelectric project, to Melbourne’s North East Link, and the new Women and Babies Hospital in Perth. In Sydney, Webuild is contributing to the development of the metro line that will connect to the Western Sydney International Airport—the largest public-private partnership in New South Wales.

Australia’s strategic importance is set to grow even more in the coming years. Brisbane will host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and a tender for the construction of an Olympic stadium is expected to be opened soon. This represents a significant opportunity for Webuild to leverage its international expertise in delivering complex, sustainable infrastructure with a high impact on local communities.

Webuild has built nine stadiums on three continents, including some of the world’s most iconic sports venues. Among them is the Al Bayt Stadium in Doha—a model of sustainability and cultural respect for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. The Group also built Milan’s San Siro Stadium and Rome’s Olympic Stadium in Italy, as well as the National Arena in Bucharest, Romania, which hosted UEFA Euro 2020.
