Málaga CF's New Stadium Plans: Old Rosaleda to Be Demolished for Urban Development
Málaga CF fans are anticipating a move to a new stadium in the university expansion area, expected by 2032. The current La Rosaleda stadium will be demolished once the new venue is ready. The land will be redeveloped with 400 homes (including 120 VPO units), 13,000 square meters of commercial space, and a possible expansion of Centro Principia. The project is estimated to generate around 40 million euros to help fund the new stadium's 400 million euro cost. The move will be complete and total, not partial, according to club administrator José María Muñoz, who indicated that alternating between venues would delay work. Meanwhile, the club relishes its return to the First Division next season.

Málaga CF fans will move from their historic Martiricos home of over 80 years to a new stadium in the city's university expansion area, with completion planned for 2032. The site, bounded by Louis Pasteur Boulevard, Francisco Trujillo Villanueva Avenue, Arroyo de Las Cañas, and Navarro Ledesma Avenue, is behind the School of Industrial Engineering. The choice was based on a multi-criteria analysis of 68 indicators, favoring the university area for international competition requirements, including 55,000 spectator capacity with future expansion potential, better logistics and security, and superior parking availability from four nearby university faculties. Public transport offers 4,300 spaces/hour versus 2,300 at the current site, and private transport access reaches 920,000 people within 30 minutes, outperforming alternatives. The new location has fewer surrounding homes, requiring fans to adapt to a less rooted environment.

Málaga CF will move from its historic Martiricos stadium to a new venue in the city's university expansion area, with completion scheduled for 2032. The chosen site, bordered by Louis Pasteur Boulevard, Francisco Trujillo Villanueva Avenue, Arroyo de Las Cañas, and Navarro Ledesma Avenue, is located behind the School of Industrial Engineering.

Últimas NoticiasNew La Rosaleda Stadium to Be Built in University Expansion Zone: 414 Million Euros, 55,000 Seats
The new La Rosaleda stadium, home of Málaga CF, will be relocated to the university expansion area of Málaga, as determined by a study commissioned by the three co-owners: the Junta de Andalucía, Málaga City Council, and the Provincial Council. The decision follows a multifactorial analysis that ranked the university site first, ahead of San Cayetano and the current Martiricos location. The stadium will cost 414 million euros, less than the 434 million for Martiricos or 588 million for San Cayetano, and will have a capacity between 45,000 and 55,000 seats, meeting UEFA Level 4 standards. Key advantages of the university site include better access via metro and bus lines, ample parking, and fewer nearby residents, enabling large events like concerts. The new stadium will be bounded by Louis Pasteur Boulevard, Francisco Trujillo Villanueva Avenue, Las Cañas stream, and Navarro Ledesma Avenue. Málaga CF will leave Martiricos after over 80 years.
Últimas NoticiasNew Malaga Stadium Study Prefers Relocation to Universidad or San Cayetano Over Current Martiricos Site
A long-awaited technical report commissioned by the joint owners of La Rosaleda stadium (Junta de Andalucía, Málaga City Council, and Provincial Council) has been unveiled. Prepared by TYPSA and Fenwick Iribarren, the study prioritizes two alternative locations—Universidad and San Cayetano—over the current site in Martiricos for the construction of a new stadium (New Rosaleda). The study was delayed to avoid interfering with Málaga CF's promotion campaign, which is now secured. The analysis highlights that Martiricos cannot meet UEFA Category 4 requirements due to capacity limits (max 43,000 seats), higher renovation costs, and longer timelines. Building a new stadium at either alternative location could accommodate 45,000-55,000 seats, is cheaper, and offers better revenue potential. A press conference is scheduled for Friday to announce the final decision. The report notes that a move would require Málaga CF to play temporarily at another venue, such as the Athletics Stadium.
