May 2025 update: Sevilla's new stadium expected to generate €26 billion yearly

As Sevilla F.C. gear up to renovate Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, it will not be just meeting the interests of those who love a modern state-of-the-art venue, but also a responsibility to the environment and fans.

Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan will utilise renewable energy sources to reduce its carbon footprint, a key aspect in the planned renovation. Many European football stadiums have gone green. Santiago Bernabeu and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium are examples. As a result, Sevilla's new stadium will add to the growing list of such venues that strike a balance between entertainment and environmental conservation.

As for accessibility, a renovated Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium will have larger and better stands. Additional accessibility areas will ensure disabled fans are taken care of. Most importantly, it is expected to be a multi-purpose venue, hosting events all year round. Some reports indicate that Sevilla are expected to generate at least  €26 billion every year from their new stadium, money that will be invested in player development and infrastructure.

April 2025 update: Government approves sustainability report

According to a sustainability report posted on the official Sevilla Website, the government has approved the club's plan to renovate Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

The report, issued on 20 March 2025, highlights, among other things, the need to also improve the urban environment around Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. It emphasises that a new Sevilla stadium will be able to host activities throughout the year and, most importantly, become an international benchmark.

Another important highlight in the report is that the new Sevilla stadium will have an additional 20,000 seats that spectators can access without climbing stairs. The renovated Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan will further cater to the needs of people with mobility challenges, thanks to additional accessibility features set to be installed at the venue.

The sustainability report recommends the best approach the club can adopt to develop a largely neglected green area on the southern side of Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. By transforming the neglected land into a public area, the renovated Sevilla Stadium and its surroundings will be beneficial to the local community.

Sevilla's plan to renovate their home stadium isn't the only such undertaking in Spain, as many other LaLiga clubs, such as Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Valencia, have recently embarked on massive stadium redevelopment projects.

New Sevilla stadium renovation: The key details

Sevilla have called the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan their home since 1958 and is named after the club's former President, who led the club from 1932 until 1941 and then again from 1948 to 1956. Under Sanchez-Pizjuan's presidency, Sevilla won their only La Liga title.

Thankfully for Sevilla fans, there are no plans to leave the ground. Instead, the club is set to redevelop Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium, or, indeed, a brand new structure entirely.

• Only the outer shell and iconic mosaic wall of the current ground will be retained on the outside.
• Inside, the ground will be demolished and reconstructed.
• The previously uncovered stadium will have a rectangular roof with sharp edges.

• The Gol Norte Stand will become a huge single-tier stand with 15,000 seats. There is no stand like this in Spain. It will be similar to that at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park.
• The new stadium will use renewable energy.
• A new car park will be added,  hence additional space to accommodate hundreds, if not thousands, of cars.
• There will be more terraces, restaurant areas, and hospitality areas.
• Capacity will increase from 42,714 to 55,000, a modest number to accommodate the club's growing support base.
• At least 10% of the capacity will be dedicated to VIP areas.
• Stands to be moved closer to the pitch. This is the case with the New Tottenham Stadium, and it means fans will feel closer to the stadium.
• The project is expected to utilise approximately €350 million
• The new stadium will improve the club's revenue by an estimated €26 million per season.
• Costs are partly funded by La Liga's recent deal with private equity fund CVC Capital Partners, which will receive an 8.25% stake in the league's TV rights in return for nearly €2 billion.
• Sevilla will need to play elsewhere for at least two years. The most likely temporary home would be the Estadio La Cartuja, where the Spanish national team regularly plays.

How does the Sevilla stadium renovation compare to others?

Many elite European football clubs are now renovating or building new stadiums. Examples include Barcelona and Los Blancos, both of which are focused on improving their hospitality facilities and the sustainability of their grounds.

Sevilla's rivals, Real Betis, are also renovating their stadium. As Spain prepares to host the 2030 World Cup, clubs are vying to have their grounds selected as one of the host stadiums.

Sevilla's plans are different. They plan to build a new stadium while maintaining some key aspects of the current ground. This isn't something we often see.

How much will the renovation cost?

Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium renovation will utilise an estimated €350 million. However, for a club that has incurred losses in the last three seasons, the cost has been a subject of disrepute from some shareholders.

Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium timeline

• 1937: Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan purchases the land in Nervión.
• 1956: His successor, Ramón de Carranza, laid the first stone of the new stadium after Sanchez-Pizjuan's death. The ground was designed by Manuel Muñoz Monasterio, who also created the plans for the Santiago Bernabeu.
• 1958: The Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium is inaugurated on 7 September with a friendly match between Sevilla and Jaén, which ended 3-3.
• 1974: The construction of the stadium is fully completed with a maximum capacity of 77,000.
• 1982: The stadium's capacity is reduced to 68,110 with renovations for the 1982 World Cup. It hosts Brazil 2-1 Soviet Union in the group stage and West Germany 3-3 France (5-4, pens) in the semi-finals. The stadium's iconic mosaic was constructed this year.
• 1986: The ground hosts the European Cup final, won on penalties by Steaua București after a goalless draw with FC Barcelona.
• 1990s: Further renovations transform the ground into an all-seater arena, and the capacity drops to 42,714.
• 2005: A further mosaic is erected to mark the club's centenary year.
• 2022: Hosts the Europa League Final between Eintracht Frankfurt and Rangers, which the German side won on penalties.
• 2023: Plans to build a new Sevilla stadium within the existing structure were announced.

I had no idea the Cartuja was having the running track removed and a lower tier installed to boost its capacity to 70k or so. If this happens expect the following.

It becomes the permanent venue for the Copa del Rey final as a neutral ground

It hosts matches in the 2030 World… https://t.co/b31c2J7egY
