La Matanza’s Polideportivo Lionel Messi Reaches 60% Completion, Plans 12,000-Seat Indoor Arena

Officials describe a six-hectare complex financed entirely with municipal funds.

Overview

  • Mayor Fernando Espinoza toured the construction site in Virrey del Pino and highlighted the progress reported at roughly 60 percent.
  • The project covers more than six hectares and features a closed stadium designed to hold over 12,000 spectators.
  • The municipality says the investment is fully funded with local resources, presented as the result of residents’ contributions through savings.
  • Planned uses include national and international events, with mentions of appearances by Argentina’s basketball and volleyball teams and youth training programs.
  • Espinoza framed the project as evidence of local capacity for public works, contrasted with national policy under President Javier Milei, and he claimed it would be the largest in Argentina.
