Nuevo Estadio Municipal Marbella – construction description

Plans for a new stadium in Marbella first appeared in 2020, when the new owners of Marbella FC unveiled a futuristic design featuring a retractable roof and an adjacent building shaped like a modern yacht.

That plan, however, was never realized, and the situation became even more complicated in mid-2021, when a section of the stands at the municipal stadium collapsed during a match. The stadium was closed, and the mayor announced that a completely new venue would be built in its place.

In July 2022, an architectural competition for the new concept was resolved. The winning design was, of course, far less spectacular than the earlier vision, but it still offered Marbella the prospect of an attractive, modern stadium.

The new, football-specific venue is planned to hold 10,000 spectators. The project also includes an underground car park, a hotel, a wellness center, as well as shops and dining facilities.

At the beginning of 2023, it was announced that the construction would be financed by the club, and in June 2025 the city granted Marbella FC a 75-year concession. Work began in August 2025 with the demolition of the old stadium.
