“We want to emphasize that this work is done from River Plate, putting a lot of financial and economic creativity into it. We have been working for many years in the previous management committees and today is the time. We know that all River Plate residents expect this work and we want to make it possible”said Brito at a press conference.
In 2020, the millionaire club took advantage of the suspension of the tournaments due to the coronavirus pandemic to carry out important works in the Antonio Vespucio Liberti stadium, popularly known as the Monumental, which included the expansion of the capacity and the removal of the athletics trackwhere they now plan to build new seats.
These spare parts would allow the stadium located in Buenos Aires to reach the 81,000 locationsalmost a thousand more than the Monumental Stadium of Peru, the largest in South America.
“It is a very important day for everyone. We are here to continue the legacy of Antonio Vespucio Liberti and make his dream even bigger”said the president of the club.
The project, which must be approved by the Assembly of Member Representatives, foresees two sources of income: pre-sale of the new locations and the inclusion of any brand or company in the name of the stadium.
