Sustainable stadium construction with reusable system components
A new interim stadium for 20,000 spectators will be built in just six months to ensure match operations during the renovation of the home ground. The modular construction method with reusable system components guarantees sustainability and flexibility. Completion is planned for August 2025.
Hüttwilen-based event and construction services provider Nüssli has been awarded the contract to build an interim stadium by Spanish second-division football club Real Zaragoza. According to a press release, the sports facility will be able to accommodate 20,000 spectators. Its operation is planned for the next two seasons and should therefore maintain the club’s uninterrupted match operations. The actual home ground, Romareda, will be renovated.
The stadium will consist of three uncovered spectator areas and a covered stand and will enclose a pitch measuring 120 by 80 meters. The planned construction period is six months, with completion scheduled for Real Zaragoza’s first home game in August 2025. As with other buildings by the specialist company, the construction method involves the use of reusable system components that can be dismantled after use.
The facilities will also include ticket sales points, a merchandising store, a catering area and booths for radio and television commentators. There will also be an adjoining building with changing rooms, a first-aid room, doping control room, VIP lounges and rest areas.
“The temporary stadium shows that the highest standards and fan experiences are possible even in transitional times,” said Lluis Herrero, Managing Director of Nüssli Iberia, in the press release. “The project also sets standards for other clubs facing similar challenges.”
