A new 5,000-seat stadium will be built in Malta, a small European island country, to play the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Britain's "The Sun" reported on the 30th (local time) that "the Malta Premier League has announced plans to build a new UCL stadium in the Marsa region that can accommodate 5,000 people."
According to reports, the stadium will have two stand-in-person for home and away fans, as well as a hospitality suite for VIP guests. In particular, it is designed to meet the UEFA 'Level 3' rating. As a result, he will be eligible to host the league phase (main) matches of major European clubs such as UCL, the Europa League (UEL), and the Europa Conference League (UECL).
The ground floor of the stadium will be constructed with a high-end artificial lawn similar to the Aspmira Stadion, home to Norwegian club Bodo/Glimt, taking into account the local climate characteristics. The entire project includes not only soccer fields, but also training stadiums, rugby stadiums, and baseball facilities. The construction will open its first shovel in 2027 and aim to be completed by 2030.

"A building permit application for the project will be submitted in the coming hours," Malta Premier League President Joseph Muscat said. CEO Alan Abela also named the project the "new home of Malta football" and said it was designed to "boost all matchday experiences." "We will bring fans closer to the game site and set a new standard for Maltese soccer by introducing modern facilities," he said.
In addition to soccer games, the new stadium will host other large-scale events such as concerts, and will be operated so that events can be held flexibly just 48 hours before kick-off.
