Real Betis has received the preliminary project for the new Benito Villamarín Stadium, with detailed designs, marking another step in the development of the next home for Betis fans. This project will enhance fan comfort and significantly increase the Club's revenue.

This project, presented by Rafael de La-Hoz Architecture Studio, incorporates all the requirements that Real Betis outlined in their design competition and will help achieve the Club's objectives.

The new Benito Villamarín Stadium will feature a new exterior, a facade representing the Thirteen Bars of the club's crest, with light, translucent tones, offering the possibility to project colours and images.

The basic project also includes the installation of a roof, which will house two new video scoreboards, larger than the current ones located in Gol Norte and Gol Sur, equipped with the latest technology. The roof will also integrate sound and lighting systems to enhance the match day spectacle and fan experience. Additionally, it will collect rainwater for irrigation, aligning with the Club's sustainability policy.

The design includes an adjacent building to the Preferencia stand, providing various services, and a large plaza five meters above street level. Under these spaces, two levels of underground parking will be constructed.

The basic project also addresses the Club's requests by defining three large dining areas, offering fans quality spaces with a wide gastronomic selection on matchdays and throughout the week. The main area, covering 1,000 square meters, will be located in the new Preferencia stand; another between Gol Norte and Fondo; and a third between Gol Sur and Fondo. These areas will be accessible to all fans, as they are located before the turnstiles. The design also triples the number of VIP seats from the current 1,200 to 3,700 to increase revenue.

The new official store will remain in its current location, between Gol Norte and Preferencia, but will be improved with a 1,000 square meter space spread over two floors. The Museum, located between the Gol Norte and Fondo stands, will also undergo significant improvements, in another space of 1,000 square metres. It will welcome visitors to the Real Betis Tour, showing the new Betis temple, including the dressing rooms, rooftop views of the Heliópolis neighborhood and the V Centenario Bridge, and the new official store.

The new official store, located between the Gol Norte and Fondo stands, will also experience significant improvements, in another space of 1,000 square metres.

Improving accessibility is another key aspect of this preliminary project, with four escalators to access the Gol Sur, Gol Norte, Fondo, and Preferencia areas, reaching the terrace of the first tier.

This preliminary project will continue in the coming months with the execution project and the tendering process for the construction works.
