Grupo Revee to Run Mar del Plata’s Minella Stadium Under 30-Year Concession Starting Nov. 5

The deal brings private funding to revive the deteriorated 1978 World Cup venue.

Overview

  • The concession takes effect on Nov. 5 under a 30-year contract with an option to extend for 10 more years.
  • Brazil’s Grupo Revee will operate the complex with Argentina’s Pro Enter after submitting the sole qualifying bid.
  • The plan earmarks more than $20 million over the term for upgrades including Conmebol-standard lighting, repairs to the roofed stand closed since 2022, refurbished bathrooms and media booths, and a new food and retail zone with gaming.
  • Project backers say the overhaul aims to position Mar del Plata as a destination for major sports and cultural events, with future Argentina national team games framed as an aspiration.
  • Mayor Guillermo Montenegro backed the transfer citing limits on public maintenance, and former Banfield president Eduardo Spinosa is presented as the project’s public face.
