Sacramento Republic FC’s long-awaited stadium project is finally moving forward in a big way. With the slogan “Embedded in the community, rooted in history and built with Sacramento’s future in mind,” the club promises a venue that will not only serve as a home for soccer but also as a symbol of civic pride and local identity.

Unanimous approval from City Council for a soccer-specific venue with expansion in mind

After years of planning, design revisions, and community engagement, the dream is now one major step closer to being realized. The Sacramento City Council unanimously approved the construction of the new stadium earlier this week, marking a decisive moment for the project. The stadium will be built in the Railyards district, one of the largest urban infill development projects in the United States. Located in the heart of downtown Sacramento, the area has long been seen as ideal for a sports and entertainment destination.

While waiting for important decisions on sports infrastructure, residents often look for alternative forms of entertainment online — and one of the most popular options is casino games.

The new stadium will be a soccer-specific venue with a seating capacity of 12,000, spread across four asymmetrical stands. Beyond just soccer matches, it is expected to host up to 40 events per year, including concerts, community events, and other sporting competitions. According to Sacramento Republic FC, this is not just about building a sports facility—it’s about creating a central gathering place that reflects the spirit and aspirations of the city.

A global construction powerhouse behind the project

In a notable development, the club has chosen Turner Construction as the general contractor for the stadium. Turner is a U.S.-based subsidiary of the German construction firm Hochtief, which is itself owned by Spanish giant ACS. ACS’s chairman and majority shareholder is none other than Florentino Pérez—the current president of Real Madrid. While this may be a surprising international connection, it underscores the level of ambition and professionalism attached to the project. Turner Construction vice-president Drake Costa stated that the company is proud to be entrusted with a stadium that will be grounded in community, rooted in history, and built for the future of Sacramento. Construction is expected to generate around 1,200 new jobs, offering a significant economic boost to the region.

What comes next: timeline and future vision

Renderings of the proposed stadium show a modern, open-concept design with potential for future expansion. While the initial capacity is set at 12,000, the club has plans to expand it to 22,000 seats over time, along with the addition of full roofing over the stands. Preliminary site preparation is expected to begin in late summer 2025, with full construction commencing in the winter. If everything goes according to plan, fans could see the first match at the new Railyards Stadium as early as 2027.

For Sacramento Republic FC supporters and city residents alike, the dream of a top-tier stadium has never felt more tangible. The stadium not only symbolizes growth for the club, but also a new chapter in the city’s identity—one focused on community, progress, and pride.
