The stadium's renovation includes a complete replacement of the seats in the plateas, renovation of the field, and a modification of the structure, with the field lowering by almost a meter. This will allow for new premium seating areas. The renovation also includes improvements to the vestuarios, zonas húmedas, and palcos.
Tapia visited the stadium and showed how the renovation is progressing. He confirmed that the stadium will reopen in November with an amistoso between the Selección Argentina femenina and Germany. The stadium will then host the final of the Torneo Clausura on December 12, 2026.
The last time the Estadio Único Diego Armando Maradona hosted a final was in 2017, when Lanús defeated River Plate in the Supercopa Argentina. The renovation is part of a larger plan to restore the stadium's status as a major venue for football and events.
The Torneo Clausura final will take place on December 12, 2026, after a decisive phase that will start with the quarterfinals on November 28 or 29.
