Overview
- FC Sion publicly presented designs for the Cervin Coliseum as a new home for the club and said the proposal is now being examined by local planning authorities.
- The club describes the venue as a 21,000‑seat arena with an integrated roller‑coaster that will circle the stands, 80 hotel rooms, a retractable roof and a field‑cover system for concerts and events.
- FC Sion estimates the project will cost about €494 million (reported as roughly R$3 billion) and says construction would take about four years if approvals and financing are secured.
- The plan is aimed at keeping the site open year round by hosting concerts, attractions and tourists as well as matches, and it would raise capacity versus the club’s current Stade de Tourbillon of about 14,000 seats.
- Significant uncertainties remain because the proposal still needs regulatory sign‑off, a public consultation is expected under cantonal review, and the project will face planning, financing and environmental checks before it can proceed.
