Varandas speeds up Sporting revamp, Alvalade set for new look in 2026/27 | OneFootball

Estádio José Alvalade is preparing to unveil a new look at the start of the 2026/27 season. While Rui Borges fine-tunes the details of the team that will return to work at the end of the month, work is also underway in several areas of the Lions' stadium, as part of the Board led by Frederico Varandas's commitment to modernising the home of the Lions.

The works began immediately after the end of the season, and one of the most visible changes is located between the South and West stands. In that space, several seats have already been removed to make way for the future Lion's Corner, a premium lounge area intended to offer a different experience to fans who attend Alvalade.

Inside the stadium, the new features do not stop there. Sporting has already announced the complete renovation of the first-team dressing room, which will now include new facilities and technology to support the players' daily work, in an investment aimed at improving the conditions offered to the squad.

Off the pitch, redevelopment work is also continuing in different areas of the Lions' complex. Among the projects underway are the creation of the panoramic lift in Praça Centenário, the renovation of circulation areas, bars and bathrooms, as well as the aesthetic standardisation of various parts of the stadium.

Another of the SAD's major objectives is to enhance Alvaláxia, which has meanwhile been reacquired by the Club. The space is expected to play a central role in the future Sporting City project, serving as one of the key pieces of the development strategy planned for the coming years.
