Brazilian Série A football club Red Bull Bragantino has unveiled plans to build a new 20,000 seat stadium in Bragança Paulista, São Paulo.

Red Bull Bragantino said the stadium will be built on the same site as the club’s old Nabi Abi Chedid Stadium in the city of Bragança Paulista.

The new arena will have a capacity of 20,000 people, with all stands covered. The venue will include VIP boxes, VIP seating, a sensory area, more than 600 parking spaces, event space, kids’ area, lounge, restaurant, bars and shops.

The development, which will be named Red Bull Arena – Nabi Abi Chedid, will be built over eight levels, including basements, and will include a natural grass pitch.

An esplanade will be built near the north sector with ample space for sports practice and outdoor events, as well as commercial and Red Bull activations.

Red Bull Bragantino, commonly known as Bragantino, is a Brazilian football club based in Bragança Paulista, São Paulo, Brazil. It competes in Série A, the top tier of the Brazilian football league system, as well as in the Campeonato Paulista Série A1, the highest level of the São Paulo State football league.

André Rocha, Administrative Director of Red Bull Bragantino, commented on yet another great achievement for the club.

He said, “It is with great pleasure that we present the Red Bull Arena – Nabi Abi Chedid to our fans. A project that marks another phase for Bragança Paulista and the region, which accompanies a scenario of evolution and development of Brazilian football.

“It will be a stadium that will certainly be an important stage for national and international matches, and a source of great pride for the citizens of Bragança.”

Elisabete Freitas, Infrastructure Manager of the club, highlighted the honor of being part of a project of such magnitude.

She said, “Being able to work on this project and lead this construction is a source of great pride and fulfillment. Knowing that our work will contribute to leaving such an impactful legacy in the city of Bragança Paulista, offering a space dedicated to entertainment, leisure, and the experience of football, is something that moves me.

“I have no doubt that this project will transform the urban landscape of the region and become an icon of the city, as well as a great source of pride for the fans and the population.”

The future Red Bull Arena – Nabi Abi Chedid consolidates the investment in the club, in Bragança Paulista and the Bragantina region. The new home of Red Bull Bragantino will be another attraction for the city, contributing to the strengthening of local commerce and boosting the economy.

With the Performance & Development Center and the Red Bull Arena – Nabi Abi Chedid, Red Bull Bragantino will have one of the main football club structures in the country and in all of South America.

The club said all phases of construction will follow sustainable principles. From the demolition stage onwards, actions such as recycling waste from the old structure, reusing crushed concrete, harvesting rainwater, installing photovoltaic panels for energy generation, using wood from reforestation, and applying LED lighting will be implemented.

The first phase of the work began in September last year, with the demolition of the old structure of the Nabi Abi Chedid Stadium.

After this stage is completed, the land leveling will begin, scheduled to take place during the first half of 2026.

Following that, the expectation is that construction of the new structure’s foundation will begin in the middle of the second half of this year.
