Estadio La Cartuja – construction description
The reconstruction of Estadio La Cartuja is primarily aimed at eliminating the athletics track, lowering the pitch, and bringing the stands closer to the playing field by building additional lower parts of the auditorium.
The stadium will thus gain a football-specific character, and its capacity will increase to 70,000 spectators, making it one of the largest in the country.
Plans to rebuild the stadium came about after Spain was announced as co-host of the 2030 World Cup (Estadio La Cartuja is to be one of the venues for the tournament). Although the modernization will quite significantly change the look of the facility, its cost is surprisingly low (€15 million).
Construction work began in July 2024 and was completed shortly before the Copa del Rey final, which was scheduled for April 26, 2025.
The second phase of the works is already planned, which will require significantly more funding (€100 million) and will include, among other things, an expansion of the roof, renovation of the facade and interior spaces of the stadium, as well as replacement of the old seats.
