The Government Council of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura took a significant step today by approving the basic project and execution plan for the comprehensive reform of the Ciudad Deportiva de Antigua. This strategic intervention aims to complete a crucial infrastructure that promises to boost the sporting landscape of the municipality.
Financial Backing for Progress
With a base budget of €7,024,716.97, the project is set to be backed and executed by the Cabildo de Fuerteventura in collaboration with the Consejo Superior de Deportes. The financial commitment underscores the importance of this project not only for sports enthusiasts but also for the regional economy.

The approval marks the beginning of the administrative procedures required for the tendering and awarding of the construction works. This process is a decisive step towards making a long-awaited infrastructure a reality. It indicates a commitment to transform the Ciudad Deportiva into a modern facility that meets the needs of both athletes and the community.
A Comprehensive Project for Diverse Services
The proposed renovations are extensive and multifaceted. Key components of the project include excavation and foundation work, the construction of new grandstands, multi-sport areas, changing rooms, storage facilities, and auxiliary installations. Additionally, the design incorporates an artificial turf football field and an athletics track, both of which will be certified by the Consejo Superior de Deportes. This accreditation opens the door for hosting national and international competitions, further elevating Fuerteventura’s profile in the sporting arena.
Commitment to Infrastructure and Community Development

It has required a rigorous technical update to ensure its proper execution and viability.” His remarks highlight the attention to detail and due diligence being applied to this ambitious undertaking.
Elevating Local Sports and Communities
Luis González, the Sports Councillor, highlighted the considerable impact this facility will have on the local sporting environment. “We are on the verge of creating a modern, certified facility designed to host high-level sports events, while also catering to the daily activities of our athletes and clubs. This is a clear commitment to grassroots sports and the external projection of both the municipality and the Island.”
Collaboration Under the Plan Insular de Cooperación
This initiative falls under the Insular Plan for Cooperation on Works and Services (PICOS), which facilitates the Cabildo’s execution of strategic infrastructures in collaboration with the municipalities. This coordinated approach reflects a holistic view of community development and aims to meet the needs of the residents in an inclusive manner.
In summary, the transformative project for the Ciudad Deportiva de Antigua exemplifies a proactive strategy to elevate Fuerteventura’s sports infrastructure, promising enhanced opportunities for local athletes and the community at large.
