Luis Rubiales announced in the Assembly of the Federation the construction of a stadium for the selection. That grabbed headlines and debates, but in reality what the president advanced was something much more profound: the construction of a new football city. Within it will be that National Stadium, which will be an important piece, but not the main reason for the movement that is being faced.
Anyone who comes to the rozas can understand that the current ftbo cityHe’s been left behind no matter how much he’s gotten his hands on over the years since the Angel Maria Villar and Bonifacio de Santiago, then mayor of Las Rozas, inaugurated it on May 12, 2003. It is even more outdated if it is compared with those of other teams, not only of the first European level but also, for example, with the one that has Morocco in Rabat.
The new idea, designed to be in the northern area of Madrid, is designed to put an end to the problems that the national team has today. When the absolute is concentrated, there is no place in the residence for more equipment. That means that the inferiors or the women have to go to nearby hotels, in addition to the problem that the training camps cannot absorb activities from three teams at the same time. And just two.
The new one football city Put an end to these problems regarding training camps, accommodation, gyms, meeting rooms, indoor soccer… The activity of the lower categories of the national team runs through practically every month of the year.
Rubiales and the federation plan to build a national stadium
The stadium
In this new facility designed to be the home of the RFEF, there will be a stadium, the one that Rubiales announced in the Assembly. It will have between 30,000 and 40,000 seats. Not be the house of the absolute as it is Wembley for England or Saint Denis for France. No. The plan is different. It is that this stadium is a resource for the Federation to host a large part of the activity that it has every year: Champions Cup or the King of Youth, Copa de la Reina, the possibility of requesting elite phases, of launching a final Four. promotion to First or other categories, matches of the sub 21, of the female…
And also, of course, some party of the absolute. The selection will continue to play out of Madridas it has always done, but it will have that house for matches in which the capital is considered to be the best and the rival’s level is not like the friendly in March:Brazil in it Santiago Bernabú.
That stadium will not be the venue for the Cup final. It is not designed for that because its capacity will not be the right one to receive that great moment of the season. But it will only be so that friendlies that other teams can agree on can be played. Spainsomething that has grown in recent years.
in that new football city All the RFEF offices will be there, something that is not the case right now because there are departments far from the federative epicenter. It is a project to change the reality of the Federation of all the teams of a country that is at the head of the palms continental and that needs its facilities to be modernized so that this domain has the best possible working conditions.
