🏟️ Presidential nod: Kast revives La U's stadium dream | OneFootball

The long-standing desire of Universidad de Chile to have its own sports venue received unexpected backing from La Moneda. During the enactment of the new Sports Corporations Law, President José Antonio Kast addressed the lack of infrastructure in local football and delivered a direct message that sparked hope among the blue supporters.

Necessary infrastructure for the country

The President emphasized that Chile’s biggest clubs deserve their own spaces to strengthen themselves at the international level. In his speech, Kast urged his ministers to move forward with projects of this kind and delivered a line that immediately went viral: “We’re going to knock on doors and see which big clubs have the possibility of having their own sports grounds… so they won’t be a meme.” He also stated that the issue should never again be used as a political campaign promise.

Lampa appears on the blue horizon

This government support coincides with the recent statements by Lampa mayor Jonathan Opazo, who expressed his full willingness to host the future home of the "Chuncho" in his district, once again reigniting the hopes of the university club’s fans.
