Belloso: Gigante de Arroyito expansion funded by 50 box sales | OneFootball

Rosario Central took an important step in its institutional growth plan: the construction of the third tier of the Gigante de Arroyito has begun. The project, which will be carried out by the company Astori, includes around 2,000 square meters of concrete and will have a capacity for 3,600 fans, in addition to 50 boxes.

The club's president, Gonzalo Belloso, confirmed that the execution period will extend until August 2026, allowing the team to normally compete in the commitments of the second semester, including the Clausura Tournament and continental tournaments such as the Copa Libertadores or the Sudamericana.

Belloso was adamant in denying rumors about potential external investors or the naming of the stadium. “The reality is that those who invented that gave free publicity to third parties that have nothing to do with us, who haven't even given us a wheel,” he stated.

The leader explained that the financing will be entirely internal: “The project will be financed purely and exclusively with the sale of 50 boxes.” He detailed that these boxes will be sold for a period of five years, which will generate new income for the club and allow them to cover the costs of the tier, the stands, and the access points. “Central is sustained by its members, it is sustained by its fans, and it will continue to be so,” he emphasized.

Regarding the historic club pool, Belloso admitted that the new construction will mean giving up that space, as the third tier—like the second—will leave the area without sunlight and will occupy the land with foundations and columns. However, he revealed that the management is considering building a new recreational pool on the Caribe grounds, although without defined deadlines: “We don't want to promise something by saying tomorrow we will build a pool.”

Beyond the field: Ángel Di María's influence in Central's present

Finally, the president referred to the growth of the social registry, a key aspect in the planning of this project. Belloso noted that Central already had 102,000 members before the return of Ángel Di María, a number that rose to over 105,000 following the excitement generated by the world champion.

“The project and administration were carried out with a very professional market study that convinced us we could take this step,” Belloso concluded.
