""It is a historic day,""
""Over the last year, River Plate worked alongside Schlaich Bergermann Partner (SBP), the world-leading German engineering firm for large stadium roofs, responsible for iconic projects such as the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Allianz Arena, Maracanã, and the Santiago Bernabéu, among others,""
""River Plate continues its path of modernization, growth, and historic leadership in sports infrastructure, consolidating the stadium as the largest and most important in the Americas and a global benchmark," Di Carlo said."
River Plate will renovate the Monumental Stadium to increase capacity from 85,000 to 101,000, adding 16,000 seats and a roof over the stands. The expansion will make the venue the second-largest soccer club stadium worldwide, behind Barcelona's Nou Camp. Construction is scheduled to begin in April and is expected to take approximately 36 months, with costs projected to exceed $100 million. The club is partnering with German engineering firm Schlaich Bergermann Partner (SBP) on the roof design. Funding will come from long-term international loans to be repaid using additional revenue from sports events and musical concerts. Completion is targeted ahead of the 2030 World Cup.
