The plan involves modernizing the venue to enhance its functionality, accessibility, and capacity, aiming to provide the club with facilities suitable for contemporary professional football. This initiative, which began in 2024, is the result of joint analysis and collaboration among stakeholders.
A key feature will be the construction of a new stand towards Calle Teniente Muñoz Díaz, restoring the stadium's four-sided configuration from 1955 to 1970. This intervention will expand the space without altering the current footprint, creating a pedestrian zone and a technological frieze around the inner perimeter.
The new facade will incorporate a light, translucent double skin, allowing glimpses of the original structure. The stadium, designated with partial protection in Madrid's General Urban Planning Catalog, will preserve its essential elements.
The project also includes replacing seats, renovating corridors and stairs, and upgrading various infrastructures and services. Interior spaces will be reorganized to optimize changing rooms, the press room, trophy room, and honor box, along with adapting facilities for sports federations.
A multifunctional building with underground parking is planned on a nearby plot on Calle Arroyo del Olivar, directly connected to the stadium. The goal is to create a complex open to the Puente de Vallecas district, capable of hosting other sports and social initiatives.
The construction work is estimated to take 24 months, with an anticipated investment of 60 million euros. The Community of Madrid aims to conduct the work concurrently with stadium activities to minimize disruption. Prior to this, improvements totaling nearly 3 million euros were completed.
The current stadium, inaugurated on June 5, 1976, has reached its 50th anniversary and has undergone several renovations to comply with LaLiga and UEFA regulations.
