Description<\/h3>\n

Nuevo Mestalla, or Nou Mestalla, is the planned new stadium of Valencia CF. The project was presented at the end of 2006 and building works started in August 2007. However, in February 2009 works were halted due to funding difficulties and have yet to resume.<\/p>\n

The stadium, designed by architecture firm Arup<\/a>, would initially have a capacity of 74,000 seats. One of its most characteristic features was its exterior consisting of 22,500 overlapping aluminium elements that are said to represent Valencia\u2019s districts and the river Turia.<\/p>\n

Nuevo Mestalla is being built at a site towards the north of Valencia, not far from Palacio de Congresos. It lies in an area with many new developments, about 2.5 kilometres from Valencia\u2019s city centre and 4 kilometres from Valencia\u2019s current stadium\u00a0Estadio Mestalla<\/a>.<\/p>\n
