The initiative was announced by Leones FC's sports director, Daniel Quinteros. The proposed stadium will not only serve as a permanent home for the team, which currently has to travel to other locations to play its home matches in the Primera C, but also host various cultural events and activities. The project is a significant step forward for the club, which has been expanding its structure since its promotion to the professional league.
The idea of building a stadium in Alvear has been discussed since Leones FC's promotion to the Primera C in 2025. The club has been using the Antonio Di Giácomo stadium in Arroyo Seco for its home matches, but it has a limited capacity of around 1,000 people. Leones FC has also been using the Newell's stadium in Bella Vista as a temporary home ground.
The proposed stadium will be a multi-purpose venue that can be used for various activities throughout the year, not just for football matches. The project also includes plans to expand the club's infrastructure and develop its youth divisions. Over 550 children have joined the club's youth academy in 2026, reflecting the impact of the club's promotion to the professional league on its youth development program.
The next step for Leones FC is to finalize the plans and secure the necessary funding for the project. The club is expected to submit a formal proposal to the local authorities in the coming weeks.
