Sevilla FC: New Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán

Sevilla FC has officially presented a project to renovate the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium. The project is set to begin on June 1, 2026, and is expected to be completed in 2028. It involves the demolition of the current structure to make room for a new stadium that will have a larger capacity than the existing one, which currently holds 43,883 seats. According to the Sevilla FC website, “the capacity will be increased to 55,000 spectators, with stands that will be very reminiscent of our current stadium, close to the pitch, overlooking the turf, but which will increase comfort”(Sevilla FC). The renovation project for Sevilla FC's Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium is a significant development for the club and its fans, aiming to modernize the venue and enhance the matchday experience. The team’s website mentions that the “New Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán will not only be a landmark sports venue, but also a landmark building in the city of Sevilla, which will be linked to the city's incomparable urban history, culture and heritage” (Sevilla FC). The new stadium will also have an impact on the sustainability and accessability of the area surrounding the stadium. Modern stadium designs often emphasize sustainability and accessibility. The new Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán could include features such as energy-efficient lighting, rainwater harvesting systems, and improved accessibility for fans with disabilities. 



In conclusion, the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium’s impact on the city of Sevilla and Sevilla FC is seen through three main themes: Enhanced fan experience, cultural significance, and sustainability.

    As you mentioned, sustainability is a major component of this project. I especially like their efforts to reduce water usage of the stadium. One key water reduction strategy is the maintenance of the field itself. By using Bermuda grass, they can reduce irrigation water consumption by 33%. Additionally, their new rainwater channeling system has a cistern with a capacity of 1000 cubic meters which can be used in place of outside water. Since Sevilla FC is a Spanish team, I find it of utmost importance that they conserve water as the country is amid an extreme drought. The efforts to conserve water reflect Sevilla FC’s determination to help the local community and serve as a leader towards sustainable development in football.

      You bring up an interesting point regarding the drought in Spain. It is of national importance that people work hard to conserve water, and I think the sustainability aspect of this stadium project highlights that well. Reducing irrigation water consumption will create a positive public image for the club. Sevilla's fanbase is strong and passionate, and I think this aspect of their new stadium design will only improve their image in the eyes of the fanbase as well as football fans around Spain as a whole. If successful, this can also be something that other clubs model their own stadium renovations after as a way to become more sustainable in the future.

    Awesome blog about the new Seville stadium, I really wasn't aware about the new stadium plans for the city. I believe this may bring in so much more tourist that are football fans to this city. Are there any of the renovations going to set apart this stadium from others in Spain? There is so many other well known stadiums just in this country, including Camp Nou and more, how do you think they might try to compete? I feel as if Seville could do a good job with the renovation but I wonder how much of their intention would be to overpower other stadiums.

    I think it s really interesting how many different teams are in the process of renovating/ creating all new stadiums for their teams in Europe. As sustainability and fan experience becomes more important to football clubs they seem to be implementing these features into their stadiums and making them the largest talking points when asked about their new stadium. New Stadiums are being built for many premier soccer teams in each country and it is great to see money is being spent in order to create a better experience for the fans and to be more sustainable.

    It was really interesting to learn about Sevilla FC's plans for their new stadium. I really like how Sevilla FC wants the new stadium to have cultural significance by connecting it to the cities culture and history. This will make the citizens feel connected to the stadium and make the stadium a tourist attraction for visitors, especially because football is important to this city. I learned from The Stadium Business that the budget for the new stadium is around €350m. I am excited to see how they use this money to ensure that it is sustainable, while still giving the fans the best experience possible. Do you think the stadium will actually be completed by 2028?

    Awesome post! It's great that Sevilla FC is taking on the initiative of sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint within their development of their new stadium. This seems to be a common trend for many European football clubs, which I believe will make a huge difference/positive impact in the fight against climate change and I am very excited to see how Sevillas design will come to fruition Additionally, It's good to see the organization taking the aspect of their fans comfort into account of their new design. Do you have any information on whether the stadiums expansion includes heightening the stadium and adding higher sections or simply just increasing the width of the area?

    You genuinely got me excited about Sevilla FC's plans to transform the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium. Bumping up the capacity to 55,000 while maintaining that intimate connection with the pitch really speaks to me. What excites me the most is the stadium's future role as not just a sports venue but a cultural landmark in Sevilla, reflecting the city's rich heritage. The commitment to sustainability and accessibility really resonates with me too; it's heartening to see the club thinking about the bigger picture. How about you? Which part of the renovation are you most looking forward to seeing come to life?
