Nou Mestalla

About

Nou Mestalla (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈnɔw mesˈtaʎa]) is a partially built football stadium in Valencia, Spain, intended as a replacement for Valencia’s current stadium, the Mestalla. The basic concrete structure of the stadium was built between August 2007 and February 2009, but work was then halted for financial reasons. Following multiple redesigns the final capacity will be 70,044 with construction work eventually resumed in January 2025. The stadium architects are Reid Fenwick Asociados and ArupSport, and the cost is estimated between €250 million and €300 million. The design features a futuristic exterior, clad in aluminium and an interior of wood. It is being built on the site of a former factory in the neighbourhood of Benicalap.
