Steady progress at La Romareda: two hundred workers and one hundred twenty-four point five million at stake

Published on May 03, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The construction work on Real Zaragoza's new stadium at La Romareda continues without pause. With nearly 200 workers on site and a budget of 124.5 million euros, the project is progressing at a good pace. It involves a complete transformation of the venue, aiming to modernize the fan experience and adapt the infrastructure to the demands of modern football. The investment is considerable, but the goal is clear: to have a functional and attractive stadium for the next decade.

Engineering on the pitch: how the new coliseum is being built 🏗️

The project includes a comprehensive renovation that involves demolishing part of the old structure and building new stands with greater capacity. Work is underway on installing a roof that covers the entire perimeter and modernizing the access points. The current phase focuses on reinforcing foundations and redistributing interior spaces. The construction is expected to create a capacity close to 42,000 spectators, with improvements to evacuation systems and energy efficiency. The timeline points to completion in 2027.

La Romareda is reborn: now we just need the team not to fall asleep on the job 😅

With 200 workers sweating it out, the stadium is advancing faster than some players on the field. While the bricklayers lay bricks, fans dream that the board will match the same pace for signings. For now, the only sure goal is the demolition hammer against the old walls. Hopefully, when the construction is finished, the team won't need another renovation: one for their game.
