New Venezia stadium finally taking shape as key construction update emerges ahead of 2027 opening

Fresh construction footage has offered supporters their clearest look yet at Venezia’s future stadium.

And with the opening now less than two years away, the project is beginning to feel very real.

Venezia FC set to move away from iconic Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo home in 2027

New footage from the Bosco dello Sport development shows visible progress being made on Venezia’s new stadium, which is scheduled to open in summer 2027.

The club are expected to spend one final season at the historic Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo before moving into their new home.

Located in Tessera, just outside Venice, the new ground is being designed by leading architecture firm Populous and will hold around 18,500 supporters.

As well as Serie A matches, the venue is intended to host European football, rugby internationals, concerts and major entertainment events.

The stadium will form part of a much wider Bosco dello Sport project, which also includes a new 10,000-seat indoor arena for basketball, volleyball and live events.

Construction footage shows the basic outline of the stadium site now beginning to emerge, with groundwork and early structural elements becoming more visible.

The aim is for the entire complex to become a year-round destination for sport and entertainment rather than simply a football ground used every other weekend.

FGG says: Leaving Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo will be emotional but has long felt inevitable

There are few stadiums in world football quite like Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo.

Its setting, history and old-school character make it one of the most iconic grounds anywhere in Europe.

But it is also a stadium that increasingly feels stuck in another era.

The limitations around capacity, facilities and access have held Venezia back for years, particularly if the club want to establish themselves in Serie A and potentially compete in Europe.

That is why, however sad it will be to leave, this feels like a necessary step.

The challenge for Venezia will be making sure the new stadium captures at least some of the atmosphere and uniqueness that made Penzo so special in the first place.
