The extraordinary maintenance work that Mapei, the company that owns the structure, planned this year began at the end of June and was completed in mid-August, so as not to interfere with the football championship. This entailed a complex management of the works, carried out simultaneously on different sectors of the structure, in the limited time available of only 71 working days.

The already synthetic pitch was implemented with a new generation turf and the adaptation of the sub-base, through a Public Private Partnership procedure that allowed for an integrated procedure that was economically more advantageous for the public administration.

A new stadium for Feyenoord will replace the current De Kuip, a historic facility that dates back to 1937. Designed by OMA / David Gianotten, it will be a highly integrated facility in the city and serving not only football but the entire community.
