Following up on the first monthly construction update we published last month, we again take a look at a series of stadiums that are currently under construction. You can find last month’s update here.
We start with the all but completed Grand Stade du Havre. Now Havre Athletic Club seem to have played themselves save from relegation last weekend, they can breadth a sigh of relief that they won’t have to open the stadium in France’s third division. It will open on the 15th of August with an international between France and Uruguay. Here’s how it looks now:
Another stadium that is nearing completion is the Friends Arena, better known as the Swedbank Arena, which will open on the 27th of October. The stadium already looks very finished with most of the seats installed (though we could not find a nice photo of that). The stadium has recently been renamed to Friends Arena, not after the television series, but after a charity sponsor Swedbank supports.
Spartak Moscow’s new stadium, on the other hand, still has a long way to go. That said, foundation works seem to have been finished and the stadium is now rising up from the ground.
Workers on Górnik Zabrze’s new stadium also seem to be ready to soon start work on the stands, though as the stadium will be built gradually in place of their old stadium and this is just the first stand, it means there is still a lot of work ahead.
Finally, a view of Palmeiras’ new stadium, where works seem to have been put in a higher gear and stands are rising on three sides of the stadium. It almost looks as if they haven’t done any foundation work.
For more photos of these stadia you can visit the official website of HAC Foot, the Friends Arena, Spartak Moscow, Stadion w Zabrzu, and the Facebook page of the Nova Arena Palmeiras.
