Work on the redevelopment of the stadium began in 2019 and the “core part” was expected to be completed by “the end of 2023”, but this did not happen and the inauguration was seriously postponed and the total cost has increased to 1.4 billion euros.

360-Degree Video Screens:
The first football stadium in Europe with a 360-degree video screen, which offers a comprehensive visual experience for spectators. This high-tech addition would contribute to the overall modernization of the stadium.

Historical Preservation:
The effort to preserve and showcase the stadium’s historic elements was expected, ensuring that the Santiago Bernabeu’s rich history was celebrated in the renovated structure.
A multi-sport stadium:
In the new Santiago Bernabeu stadium, not only football will be played, this stadium will organize almost all major sports matches such as: Basketball, Rugby, Tennis, etc.
Retractable Pitch:
Designed to allow the stadium to be used for large-scale events, the pitch is set on six underground levels and will have an underground irrigation system and ultraviolet lighting to maintain the quality of the grass.
