New renderings of the LaLiga team Real Betis Balompié home ground – the Benito Villamarín Stadium in Seville, Spain – have been published. The renderings show the new design of the stadium which will include a new façade, a roof and will wear a futuristic and stunning look.
‘nogomania’ stated that the Real Betis Balompié has unveiled ambitious plans to completely renovate the Benito Villamarín Stadium aiming to create one of the most spectacular stadiums in LaLiga. The renovation work is expected to begin after the LaLiga 2024-2025 seasons – which will end in May 2025.
The Real Betis Balompié, known as Real Betis, or just Betis, is a Spanish professional football club based in Seville, Andalusia, Spain. Founded in 1907, it plays in LaLiga, the top flight of Spanish football. The top-flight plays its home games at the 60,721-seat Benito Villamarín Stadium.
The Benito Villamarín Stadium is a venue in Seville, Spain, and the home of Real Betis since its completion in 1929. It has a capacity to accommodate 60,721 spectators.
Features:
- New Façade: The stadium will have a new façade with the club’s 13-stripe badge;
- Roof: The stadium will have a roof over the four stands;
- Premium Seating: The stadium will have more premium seating options including a food hall and a bar;
- Family Sections: The stadium will have dedicated sections for families and fans aged 21 or less;
- Open Spaces: The stadium will have more open and modern spaces;
- Commercial Activities: The stadium will have commercial activities for the fans and the visitors; and
- Restaurant: The stadium will boast a restaurant to enhance the fan experience.
‘nogomania’ further stated that the revamped stadium is expected to be completed by the 2027-2028 seasons. During the renovation, Betis will temporarily play their home games at Seville’s 60,000-capacity La Cartuja Olympic Stadium. The totally renovated Benito Villamarín Stadium will retain its capacity of 60,000 spectators but will offer significantly enhanced comfort and modern infrastructure.
In addition to the stadium upgrades, the project includes the construction of a hotel and a clinic within the complex. The club also plans to transform the stadium into a year-round entertainment hub taking a leaf out from their peer team – the Real Madrid CF’s 78,297-capacity Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid, Spain. The aim is to make the venue a vibrant destination for fans and visitors every day of the year.
With the above renovation, Real Betis will join the ranks of the Spanish football giants Real Madrid CF, FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid all of whom have invested in world-class stadium projects in recent years.
