As: Spain is preparing for the 2030 World Cup, and multiple stadiums are upgraded and renovated

According to the newspaper Ass, Spain is preparing for the 2030 World Cup in full swing, and many iconic stadiums are underway or are about to begin ambitious transformations. From modernization to increasing stadium capacity, the upgrade and transformation of Spanish stadiums is already underway.

Barcelona is renovating its iconic Camp Nou stadium with a total investment of 1.5 billion euros, of which 1 billion euros will be spent on the stadium itself. The new Camp Nou will add a third-floor stand, full roof covering, triple the VIP area, and a spectacular "Sky Trail" with a spectacular city view. Some facilities are expected to open in 2025, and all projects will be completed in 2026, by then it will become the largest stadium in Europe with more than 105,000 seats.

Real Madrid transformed its stadium into a global benchmark with an investment of 1.17 billion euros. The New Bernabeu Stadium is equipped with a retractable roof, mobile lawn, 360-degree LED screen and cutting-edge technology, making it available year-round for sporting events and concerts. The stadium capacity has increased to 84,000 people, not only to shine in the World Cup, but also to generate club revenue.

Malaga has invested 271 million euros to fully renovate the stadium, which can accommodate 45,000 spectators, and is expected to be completed in 2028. Although invested and constructed by three government departments, the team will temporarily play at the Malaga City Stadium due to administrative procedures.

Zaragoza will spend 175 million euros to renovate its stadium, with the new stadium capable of 43,184 people and is expected to be put into use in the 2027-28 season. The project not only modernizes the infrastructure, but also enhances the club's image.

The Gran Canaria Stadium in Las Palmas will use a transparent cloud-shaped roof and retractable stands to enhance its uniqueness. The stadium capacity will increase to 40,000 people and is expected to be completed by 2029. The renovation period will temporarily affect some season ticket holders.

Sevilla has completed the first phase of the stadium renovation, including the expansion of the stands and the demolition of the track and field track. The capacity will increase from 57,000 to 70,000, which is expected to be completed by 2030. The second phase is expected to invest 100 million euros to improve external facilities and access. In addition, during Betis' transformation of his own stadium, Sevilla's new stadium will also be temporarily Betis' home court.

La Coruna has also carried out a comprehensive renovation of the stadium, with the capacity increased to 42,000 people, and the existing two-story stands will be retained, but expansion will be carried out. The project is worth 90 million euros, and due to conflicts with the municipal government planning department, the start date has not been determined. Projects planned to start in 2026 will temporarily reduce the project volume, but will modernize and upgrade the stadium and its surrounding environment.

Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad are already in line with FIFA standards and do not require large-scale renovations. Similarly, Atletico Madrid and Espanyol's stadiums need only a slight adjustment to adapt to the needs of the World Cup.
