Overview

• Aston Villa has officially announced plans to expand Villa Park’s North Stand, increasing stadium capacity from 42,640 to over 50,000 seats.
• The project will reuse the existing North Stand structure, ensuring no reduction in matchday capacity during construction.
• Completion is targeted for late 2027, aligning with Villa Park’s role as a host venue for the Euro 2028 tournament.
• The expansion is dependent on promised transport improvements at Witton Station, including increased passenger capacity and safety upgrades.
• The redevelopment is projected to generate £120 million annually for the local economy, support 1,700 jobs, and enhance Villa Park’s ability to host non-football events.
