Overview
- The Asamblea de Representantes approved the 2026–2027 budget on Oct. 29, 2026 and assigned $19.606 billion to the first stage of a comprehensive Bombonera expansion.
- The plan calls for moving the pitch four meters, replacing existing palcos with a six‑floor structure of 216 boxes, adding a fourth bandeja, installing a roof and a 360º LED screen to push capacity above 80,000.
- The approved budget projects total revenues of $239.392 billion and $41.767 billion in planned investments, including $12.325 billion for Casa Amarilla works and $7.016 billion for a Reserve‑team hotel at Ezeiza.
- Club officials presented a net positive foreign‑currency position of about USD 11.4 million as part of the financial case for advancing the works, noting that this figure compares foreign‑currency assets and liabilities rather than cash on hand.
- The budgetary vote gives institutional authorization to move from design to implementation planning, but construction start dates, municipal permits, detailed engineering and phased financing were not announced and will determine the project’s timeline and impact on the neighborhood and match‑day access.
