The mayor of Medellín, Federico Gutiérrez, has ignited the excitement of Antioquia soccer fans by confirming that this Wednesday, November 5, the renovation project for the Atanasio Girardot stadium will be presented.
With an enthusiastic “Almost” in his X account, the district president called on citizens to learn about the design of what promises to be “the Stadium that the city deserves.”
The presentation is scheduled for 10 in the morning, and the mayor assured with conviction: “You’ll see. It’s going to be spectacular,” a message that underlines the magnitude of the work.
The ambitious remodeling seeks to transform the 74th colossus into a world-class stage, directly responding to historic criticism from fans about the poor current state of the venue.
Fico emphasized that the project is a recognition of the people’s passion, stating that “Our people deserve the best.”
He added that both DIM and Atlético Nacional will play in one of the best stadiums in Latin America, raising the standard not only locally but also continentally.
The Atanasio Girardot is not just a playing field; It is the main witness of the recent history of Colombian soccer, being the stage that consistently hosts the largest number of professional soccer finals.
