The alliance with Telefónica positions the company from the start of the project as a strategic partner responsible for the design and development of the technological infrastructure, as well as for managing the venue’s connectivity, ensuring maximum efficiency and security.

This will involve the implementation of the LAN (Local Area Network), which will provide the Nou Mestalla with an internal communications structure capable of supporting the venue’s daily operations and the management of its critical systems.

Telefónica, selected for its experience and leadership in the digitalisation of organisations and sports complexes, will also be responsible for deploying a high-capacity WiFi network designed to offer efficient coverage to tens of thousands of users simultaneously, ensuring a seamless digital experience in common areas, stands, hospitality spaces, and operational zones.

Alongside these infrastructures, the company will implement the stadium’s cybersecurity system through advanced monitoring tools, data-protection measures, and threat-response mechanisms to safeguard the integrity of the digital services that will form part of the new home of Valencianismo.

In this way, the Nou Mestalla adds a new forward-thinking partner to help transform the new stadium into a benchmark for connectivity and technological experience in the city of Valencia.

This agreement forms part of a broader collaboration framework capable of addressing future needs, optimising management, driving new services and digital assets, and generating opportunities for developing technology-based business models.

Telefónica, in this regard, will contribute its expertise and innovative capacity to equip the Nou Mestalla with technological resources aligned with the Valencia CF’s forward-looking vision, enabling the Club’s growth and competitiveness in the sports and entertainment sector.

Javier Solís, General Director of Valencia CF: “This agreement represents a key milestone for the Nou Mestalla, which adds a new partner of recognised prestige. Telefónica is a world-leading company with great vision for the future. Having their support will allow us to offer the highest standards of technology to all Valencianistas.”

Eduardo Ariste, General Director of Enterprises at Telefónica Spain: “For Telefónica, it is an honour to accompany Valencia CF in such an emblematic project for the city. We are placing our technological capabilities at the service of the Nou Mestalla so that fans enjoy a distinctive experience in an intelligent, hyper-connected stadium. This agreement also strengthens our commitment to Valencia and will allow the Nou Mestalla to be born as one of the most technologically advanced stadiums in the country, a benchmark in digital innovation and the application of cutting-edge solutions.”
