💶 Valencia secure €322 million for the Nuevo Mestalla | OneFootball

The club has secured the necessary funding to continue work on its new stadium, which is expected to be one of the largest in Europe.

Valencia CF has announced the acquisition of 322 million euros to finance the construction of the Nou Mestalla, a project aimed at creating one of the largest stadiums in Europe. This step allows for the resumption of works that began in 2007 but were halted in 2009 due to financial issues.

The new agreement includes the issuance of 237 million euros in bonds, with a repayment term of 28 years and an average amortization of 20 years, backed by a BBB credit rating, indicating solid credit quality. In addition, a loan of 85 million euros has been secured, to be repaid over five years, which will be covered by the income generated from the sale of the current Mestalla stadium’s land.

In the statement, Valencia highlights that "this operation has a solid credit rating of BBB (Investment Grade), granted by a rating agency that has been involved in the financial evaluation of top-level sports venues built in Europe in recent years."

The Nou Mestalla is designed to be a modern stadium with great capacity, which could position it as a benchmark in European football. Furthermore, the project is expected to boost the local economy by generating jobs and attracting visitors. The club has indicated that it will provide regular updates on the progress of the construction.
