The first phase of construction of the new Benito Villamarin Stadium has begun once all bureaucratic and administrative procedures have been duly completed.

Real Betis awarded ACCIONA the execution of these initial works, which will start this April and include excavation works and the construction of the earth-retaining system using diaphragm walls to allow the development of underground levels. In parallel with these activities, the collaborative process will continue, an action plan through which both parties will work together to enhance the design of the new venue and optimize timelines and costs.

In the second phase, the actual construction works resulting from the collaborative process will be carried out. This phase includes the construction of the new Preferencia stand, improvements to the existing stands?Gol Norte, Fondo, and Gol Sur?the development of an annex building for commercial use, underground parking beneath the Preferencia stand and the annex building itself, as well as the construction of the roof and the vertical façade for the entire stadium.

The project for the new Benito Villamarin Stadium began last summer with the dismantling of structures and facilities in the Preferencia stand, the demolition of its three sections and the Voladizo staircase, followed by the classification and removal of waste. This process took place during the final months of 2025 and was carried out by the company Erri Berri.

The works will be carried out in an urban environment with regularly used roads, so the planning of activities will consider mobility conditions and noise management during construction, with the aim of minimizing the impact on the Heliopolis neighbourhood.

With this comprehensive renovation, Real Betis aims to turn the Benito Villamarin Stadium into a landmark of the city of Seville with a new iconic building and, above all, to improve the experience and comfort of fans through upgraded access and services, steeper stands, a new roof, modern technology, and extensive hospitality areas.

Real Betis previously worked with ACCIONA several seasons ago on the construction of the new Rafael Gordillo Training Complex, a facility that has boosted the development of the club's youth academy in recent years.

In addition to the various pitches, sports areas, and the multifunctional building for offices, gym, and medical services, ACCIONA carried out works on the road infrastructure surrounding the complex, including urban development actions in the area. Furthermore, in line with Real Betis' environmental policy and its Forever Green program, it implemented a bioclimatic design featuring natural ventilation, efficient consumption reduction systems, water reuse for irrigation, the use of renewable energy, landscape integration, and low maintenance?representing a pioneering commitment to sustainability.
