Gimnasia de Mendoza prepare for Primera: stadium ready, transfers start | OneFootball

Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza, after their historic promotion to the top tier of Argentine football in October 2025, is working intensively on the remodeling of their Víctor Legrotaglie stadium and assembling a competitive squad to face the 2026 season in the Professional Football League.

Projects and Works at the Stadium

The club's president, Fernando Porretta, confirmed an ambitious project to adapt the stadium to First Division standards. The works aim to improve the facilities and relocate the popular stands to meet league requirements. The goal is to play home games at Legrotaglie, a key factor for the team's identity in their return to the elite after more than four decades.

Technical Staff and Preseason

The club has reaffirmed its confidence in the technical staff led by Ariel Broggi, who will continue as coach in the 2026 Professional League. The preseason began with the aim of achieving the best physical and tactical preparation for a demanding tournament.

Transfer Market and Reinforcements

The management is working on a strategic transfer market to maintain the core of the team that achieved promotion and add specific reinforcements.

Key Renewals: They have secured the continuity of key players like Lautaro Carrera, Fermín Antonini, and Luciano Cingolani.

Additions: So far, reinforcements such as Luciano Paredes, a defender from Deportivo Maipú, have been added on loan.

Departures: Several players from the championship squad have finished their contracts or returned from loans, leading to an exodus that management seeks to compensate with new faces. Notable departures include Ignacio Antonio, a new addition to Colón, and the possible exit of Matías Muñoz, a central defender who might also move to the sabalero.

With these moves, the "Lobo" from Mendoza aims to establish itself in the top category and be a competitive rival in the upcoming season.
