Seville’s Olympic stadium went from 52,000 to 70,000 seats in 2025; the major works are scheduled for 2028, and public transport access remains the weak point.
Built for the 1999 World Athletics Championships on the island of La Cartuja, the stadium long suffered from its running track. The track was removed in 2025: capacity rose from 52,000 to 70,000 seats ahead of the Copa del Rey final in April 2025.
With no permanent resident club, it hosts the Spain national team and, temporarily, Real Betis while work is carried out at the Benito Villamarín.
The works programme for 2030 is costed at €119 million (down from €137 million). After a phase worth around €10 million in late 2025 – early 2026 (south and west entrances, floodlighting, interiors), the heaviest works are scheduled for 2028, once Betis has left.
Transport: the stadium is served by neither the metro nor the train. On 17 June 2026, the Junta de Andalucía asked the national government to extend the Cercanías line to the stadium and to connect it to metro line 1 at Blas Infante; the project is neither funded nor approved.
TUSSAM city buses (€1.40 a journey) or a walk from the centre (about 4 km). On match days, special services are usually laid on. Seville metro: €1.35 to €1.80 depending on the number of zones crossed; tourist travel card €5 (one day) or €10 (three days).

Real Madrid’s ground, fully modernised (retractable roof, retractable pitch), is the Spanish front-runner to host the 2030 final.
Atlético’s 70,692-seat stadium has already hosted a Champions League final (2019). Its participation in 2030 has been described as “in doubt” by the Spanish press.
Mid-rebuild, the Camp Nou is reopening in stages: 62,652 seats licensed since March 2026, with a target of 104,600 covered seats by late 2027 – early 2028.
