The Real Betis must move to the stadium The Charterhouse -with a capacity for 57,619 spectators, a little less than Villamarín- during the 2024-25 season, where it plans to demolish the preferred stand of Benito Villamarín to build a new one, put the roof and remodel the whole stadium on the outside, where it will require work between 18 and 20 months duration.
The Verdiblanco club has not yet made an official decision on this matter, but carrying out works of such magnitude makes it impossible for the Benito Villamarín stadium to be used to host matches while they last, so the option to move to Cartuja was considered for a long time by the rectors of the Verdiblanco club, who thought that they would have to leave the stadium for at least one full season. The Cartuja stadium was built to host the 1999 World Athletics Championships and support Seville’s candidacy to host the 2004 Olympic Games, on the condition that a club from the city -Sevilla or Betis- will permanently move to him, though that premise was later broken .
The start of works on ‘Nuevo Villamarín’ – as the project is called – in a year and a half from now was announced this Monday by the club’s vice president José Miguel López Catalán. “The new Villamarín will have a capacity similar to the current one and the planning is to start the works in 18 months. CVC funds will be used for that. These are strategic decisions. We will take CVC funds of 96 million euros paid over 50 years and they allow us to invest in infrastructure. The stadium will be one of the most modern because as much as we want, the current Villamarín was designed 25 or 30 years ago. Betic, López Catalán.
