Getafe have partnered with a "leader of the sector" to turn the Coliseum into a "state-of-the-art" stadium. The Azulones announce the start of the works by publishing images that show visible changes from the previously presented design.

A "state-of-the-art" Coliseum for 2028

Work on the Coliseum starts today, on Monday 9th of June It will last less than 30 months, as promised by the club, which asks neighbours and fans for understanding. This puts the end of the work between the end of 2027 and the beginning of 2028. Two and a half seasons during which Getafe will have to combine works and matches, as they do not plan to move at any stage of the reconstruction.

The club made public the information about the start of the works on Friday, announcing as well that the company chosen to do so would be Amenabar. Despite having carried out several sports projects, the company, described by the club as a leader in the sector with more than 40 years of extensive experience never carried out works on such a large stadium. The construction of Real Sociedad’s sports city at the turn of the century and the reconstruction of Ipurua between 2015 and 2019 is the closest thing to what they will have to do in Getafe. Despite this, the club is confident that together they will achieve the goal of turning the Coliseum into a state-of-the-art infrastructure.

The images shown by Getafe in the press release suggest that the project presented in the summer of 2023 has undergone changes. The façade now looks more futuristic, illuminated and semi-open, while the roof shows elements that could be solar panels. Despite this, the most important things remain unchanged: the capacity will increase to 19,500 seats, the roof will cover all sections of the stands and a VIP area with 69 boxes will be created.
