Atanasio Girardot Stadium to Undergo Major Renovation

Medellín’s administration confirmed that the Atanasio Girardot Stadium will undergo a massive structural renovation, expanding capacity to 60,000.

Mayor Federico Gutiérrez announced that the stadium will be revamped to become a world-class venue by December 2027, with construction starting in July.

This transformation creates logistical challenges for Atlético Nacional and Independiente Medellín, who must find temporary homes for the 2026-2027 season while facing potential Conmebol restrictions for international tournaments.
