Cagliari new stadium plans have been presented to city council officials, with the initial project now boosted by an extra 5,000 seats, in order to rival other locations for hosting duties at Euro 2032.
Cagliari New Stadium Project Boosted By 5,000 Extra Seats
Cagliari have this week presented fresh plans for a state-of-the-art stadium, which has now been improved from an initial 25,000-person capacity, to 30,000.
Italy are slated to co-host Euro 2032 alongside Turkey, and club officials are hopeful that by increasing the capacity to 30,000, the new stadium may enter consideration as one of the locations for the tournament.
Cagliari President Tommaso Giulini sat down with members of the city council to iron out plans to demolish the Stadio Sant’Elia, which has been vacant for several years, after the club moved to their current stadium, Unipol Domus, in 2017.
The new arena, which will be built on the stunning oceanfront area of Lungomare Sant’Elia, will be named after club legend and Italy’s all-time top goalscorer, Gigi Riva.
