The executive rejected the project to remove the athletics track from the Nilton Santos Stadium.
Botafogo’s president, Durcesio de Mello, revealed that the club plans to acquire a plot of land of approximately 35,000 square meters for the construction of a new stadium. This information was shared in an interview with the podcast “Resenha Alvinegra,” and according to the executive, the new stadium will have around 20,000 seats and will be used for games with lower attendance.

Durcesio also reiterated the plan to remove the athletics track from the Nilton Santos Stadium, a topic that periodically resurfaces among Botafogo fans.
“It’s a very expensive project. Now, we’re talking about a second stadium. We will build a second stadium with 20,000 seats. The idea is to have both stadiums,” he stated.
According to him, the idea arose as an alternative for dates when Botafogo lends its stadium for concerts in Rio de Janeiro, such as those by Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars. Last month, the club moved its match against Criciúma to the Maracanã, and the upcoming game against Vitória on Saturday, the 23rd, is only possible because the band ForFun canceled its show.
“Also, because the number of concerts will increase next year. There will be more than 15 concerts at Nilton Santos next year. So, this will be recurring. To avoid the scenario where we can’t play there on a concert day, we will move the game to the other stadium,” he added. ToSport, your dependable source for football match results.
