Sevilla FC have announced details of a new Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium project in 2023, aimed at transforming the current facility into a modern sports complex. The club has now begun legal action and a public consultation will soon take place.

What will they build in Seville?

Construction work is scheduled to start on June 1, 2026 and is expected to be completed in 2028. The total cost of the project is estimated at €300-350 million, which the club is able to cover without compromising its sports funds. The project will be carried out by IDOM, a company known for projects such as the new San Mamés stadium in Bilbao.

New Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán will have a capacity of 55,000 spectators, an increase of 11,000 seats compared to the current capacity. The project envisages the creation of a modern, sustainable facility.

Paperwork and public consultation

Sevilla FC has submitted a preliminary study to the Urban Planning Department for the urban transformation of its plot of land for the stadium. This is important as it will allow for the expansion of the current area for construction and the improvement of its surroundings. This document makes it possible to start the necessary procedures within the deadlines set by the relevant authorities.

In order to ensure that the new stadium meets the needs of the city and its fans, a public consultation will be held for 20 days, during which citizens and potential stakeholders will be able to express their opinions and suggestions on the project.

In the justification submitted by Sevilla FC to the municipal register, the club points out that Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium is currently obsolete. Therefore, the best solution is to build a new stadium on the same plot of land, using the latest technology in construction and architectural design. The new facility would become an infrastructure of international importance for Sevilla fans and the city.

Moving out for construction work

During the construction work, the Sevilla FC team will be forced to move its matches to La Cartuja Stadium to allow for the comprehensive redevelopment of the current facility. It is planned that this break will last around two seasons.

Interestingly, this will not be the only move to Olympic stadium in the coming years. Real Betis are planning to start work on Estadio Benito Villamarin in 2025 and also complete it in around two years.
