Nüssli realizes two temporary stadium projects in Spain and Denmark
Nüssli has implemented two pioneering stadium projects in Europe within just a few months: In Spain and Denmark, modern, temporary arenas were built for professional match operations. Both Real Zaragoza and Aarhus Gymnastikforening (AGF) benefit from sustainable temporary solutions during the construction phases of their main stadiums, which set new standards in terms of speed, quality and reusability.
Together with the construction company MLN Mariano López Navarro, Nüssli Iberia built a temporary stadium for 20,000 spectators for the long-established Spanish football club Real Zaragoza - the first of its kind in Spain. The new building was constructed in record time: following the start of construction in March 2025, the stadium opened for play in June. The facility comprises three seated stands and a main stand with a total area of 120 × 80 meters. It is fully equipped for professional La Liga matches - including floodlights, scoreboards, changing rooms, press and VIP areas, catering and a merchandising store.
«This is the first time that a stadium of this type has been built in Spain,» explains Lluis Herrero, Managing Director of Nüssli Iberia. «In just over 100 days, we created a complete venue together with our partner - precisely planned, implemented on schedule and realized almost without a hitch.» The stadium will be used in the 2025/26 and 2026/27 seasons and can then be completely dismantled and reused for future projects - a sustainable approach that offers both environmental and economic benefits.
AGF Aarhus continues to play in front of a home crowd In Aarhus (Denmark), Nüssli is also ensuring that fans and the club do not have to miss out on home games during the construction period of the new stadium. The temporary stadium of AGF Aarhus was completed in time for the start of the 2025/26 football season. The centerpiece is a premium grandstand with 3,200 seats, including 700 VIP seats, supplemented by three TV towers, a catering area and covered zones for optimum comfort.
After a construction period of just three weeks, Nüssli delivered a main stand, while the three other stands were already in place and had been used in previous matches. The main stand originally used did not meet the requirements, which is why Nüssli replaced it with a premium solution - with significantly higher quality and comfort. The main stand plays a central role, as it accommodates the sponsor areas and VIP guests and thus generates the most important revenue for the club. The modernization of the grandstand has not only improved the experience for visitors, but also strengthened the club's economic basis.
Until the new «Skovens Arena» opens in 2027, the temporary facility will provide a high-quality venue that guarantees sporting continuity for the club and a real stadium atmosphere for the fans.
