Cagliari opted for an semi-open selection process. While the initial stage (with 25 bids) was carried out away from public attention, now everyone will see from which visions the team will select its final home.

Cagliari Calcio has aimed for an innovative and transparent sharing process, constantly updating fans and stakeholders on the selection phases and presenting now the 3 concept designs, in a live streaming event on Club social media channels. Furthermore, designers’ proposals will be showcased in a public exhibition, from 1st to 9th of March at Sardegna Arena.

The new stadium is expected to hold around 21,000 people and should cost in excess of €55 million. It will replace the dilapidating Stadio Sant'Elia while Cagliari will play just next doors, at the temporary Sardegna Arena.
