The new Santiago Bernabéu stadium is gradually becoming like the original model, although it still takes more than a year to complete.
There is still a lot of work to be done and although there is optimism that it will be ready in June 2023, it is likely that the entire project, including the surroundings of the stadium, will be completed by the end of next year.
To meet the deadline, people are currently working on over 400 different activities, using player leave and the flexibility of the La Liga calendar.
Real Madrid will not play any home games until 4 September, which means the stadium will be out of use for three months.
The team’s changing rooms were demolished following the celebration of the 14th Champions League trophy and are expected to be brand new at the start of next season.
Their new look is one of the club’s biggest secrets, but it is believed that they will be among the best in the world.
The old folks already had luxe details, like personal lockers and a spa area for post-game recovery. However, the club will go a step further by incorporating a warm-up area and the latest technology.
Retractable field, already in shape. However, this part shouldn’t be ready until next season.
The idea is to put the turf on top of the planks already laid on the tracks, but the turf will not be hidden as there is still a lot of work to be done in the underground storage.
In the meantime, by the end of the summer, the roof could be almost ready and it is also possible that it could be used next season.
However, the intention is to have everything ready when the stadium opens, while the new stands on the east side are still under construction.
Work has also begun on the west side for the construction of new stands. Engineering work is already underway, but there is no guarantee that this part of the stands will accommodate fans next season.
Acerinox has shipped the first steel sheets that will cover the facade of the Santiago Bernabéu. Once installed, it will be possible to see what the stadium looks like from the outside and how the curves will give dynamism and asymmetry to the new Bernabeu.
