Newell's Old Boys named a new stand at the Coloso Marcelo Bielsa stadium after Lionel Messi on his 38th birthday. This honor acknowledges Messi's significance in soccer history, alongside another Argentinian legend, Diego Maradona, who previously had a stand named after him. The stadium will accommodate 50,000 spectators following this expansion, further highlighting Messi's connection to the club where he began his career at age six. The Coloso was rebranded in 2009 to honor Marcelo Bielsa, adding to its rich legacy in Argentinian soccer.
Today, the Coloso writes a new page. For the first time, the two most powerful names in soccer history live under the same roof: OURS.
The new stand will increase the Newell's stadium capacity to 50,000 spectators, highlighting the growing significance of both Messi and the club.
