According to Ole, Club Atlético de Leones FC, owned by the Messi family, has announced plans to build a multipurpose stadium in Alvear.

Club Atlético de Leones FC is run by the Messi family, with Matías Messi, Lionel's older brother, serving as club president. The club currently competes in Argentina's Primera B Metropolitana. The club has been continuously improving its facilities and is undertaking one of the most significant institutional projects in its short history: building a dedicated stadium in Alvear, where the club was founded and is based.

Daniel Quinteros, sports director of Club Atlético de Leones FC, announced this information. The project includes constructing a multipurpose venue that will host not only the team's matches but also various cultural events and performances.

When Club Atlético de Leones FC was promoted to Primera B Metropolitana, the idea of building a dedicated stadium began to take shape. In December 2025, Carlos Pighin, mayor of Alvear, confirmed that there had been private discussions about building a stadium in the Greater Rosario area, but at that time, the location had not been finalized and specific plans were still being developed.

Now the club continues to show progress on this plan, hoping to establish a stronger foundation for its development. The club intends for the future stadium to be the team's permanent home, as Club Atlético de Leones FC currently must use other venues for home matches in Primera B Metropolitana.

From Alvear Training Center to Dedicated Stadium

Club Atlético de Leones FC was founded on January 2, 2015. The club is located in Alvear, approximately 15 km south of Rosario. Since its founding, the club has focused on youth development and infrastructure. The current training facility is equipped with regulation natural and artificial grass fields, a smaller pitch, locker rooms, administrative offices, equipment rooms, a canteen, and green spaces.

Promotion to Primera B Metropolitana changed the club's needs. After the Argentine Football Association approved Club Atlético de Leones FC's direct entry into the competitive system, the team began participating in professional tournaments and had to address a crucial issue: where to play home matches.

As a result, during the first season and the first half of 2026, the club chose to use Arroyo Seco Alliance's Antonio Di Giacomo Stadium. This venue can hold nearly 1,000 people, and Club Atlético de Leones FC used it for their first home match in a national competition.

The team's first match at this venue took place on March 9, 2026, against Porvenir, ending in a 0-0 draw. On that day, all 330 seats in the stands were filled, and approximately 750 additional fans occupied the general admission area.

However, a month earlier, Club Atlético de Leones FC had relocated their home base to Newell's Old Boys' training center in Bella Vista.

More Than Just a Football Venue

Club Atlético de Leones FC's plans extend beyond building a stadium for official matches. The club hopes to create a multifunctional space for various activities that will serve surrounding towns like Alvear and Arroyo Seco.

Therefore, in addition to hosting sports events, the stadium could also accommodate cultural performances and concerts in the future. The club hopes the facilities will be used throughout most of the year, rather than only during the Primera B Metropolitana schedule.

The plan also involves expanding the overall training center. As early as December 2025, Pighin confirmed that the club plans to add youth teams and build a small gymnasium as part of its continuously improving facilities in Alvear.

Developing youth football academies is also one of the pillars of this plan. According to La Capital, over 550 young people tried out for the club in 2026, a figure that reflects the club's growing impact on youth development after joining Argentina's professional football system.
