Medellín to Revamp Atanasio Girardot Stadium for 2027

Medellín is set to revamp the Atanasio Girardot Stadium, forcing Atlético Nacional and Independiente Medellín to relocate during the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

The project aims to expand capacity to 60,000 and modernize the infrastructure, with construction slated to begin in July 2025. Despite this, the clubs face logistical hurdles, as current alternatives are too small to host Libertadores or Sudamericana matches.
