Venezia FC and the Municipality of Venice have signed a 40-year concession for the management of a new stadium, which will be built in Mestre, in the Tessera district, within the Bosco dello Sport. The agreement, announced in a joint note, provides for a total investment of 125 million euros by the club, intended for equipment, improvements, ordinary and extraordinary maintenance and the concession fee. The structure, with a capacity of 18,500 spectators, will be inaugurated in the second half of the 2027/2028 season and will be able to host not only football matches, but also concerts, festivals and other cultural and entertainment events.
The president of Venezia FC, Francesca Bodie, defined the signing of the contract as "a historic day for the club and its community". He underlined that the Bosco dello Sport will be a "new home" for the club, characterized by innovation, inclusiveness, sustainability and international standards, capable of making the most of the orange-green energy and passion. The aim is to create a venue that reflects the club's identity and offers a high-level experience for fans and spectators.
Mayor Simone Venturini expressed gratitude to his predecessor Luigi Brugnaro for helping to realize the project. He declared that the signing of the contract represents "a historic day for the whole city, even for those who are not fans". Venturini recalled the decades of discussions and words that preceded the construction of the new stadium, underlining that now the dream of a modern and functional stadium is finally tangible.
The new facility, located within the Bosco dello Sport, will offer a series of cutting-edge services and infrastructures, designed to guarantee comfort and safety for both fans and event organizers. The 18,500 seat capacity will allow Venezia FC to accommodate a large portion of its fan base, while the stadium's versatility will make it a hub for large-scale events in the region.
With the conclusion of this concession, Venezia FC is preparing for a future of growth and development, with a modern stage that will be able to welcome the challenges of Serie B and, possibly, European competitions. The club and the city of Venice are thus approaching a new chapter, with the hope of offering fans an unprecedented gaming and entertainment experience.
