Santos prepares an ambitious project to expand its football structure with the construction of a new training center and an arena in Praia Grande, on the coast of San Paolo. The initiative has the partnership of Nr Sports, a company of the Neymar family and the Peralta group, head of the area of 90 thousand square meters in which the complex will be erected.
The new CT, called Vila Praia Grande, will have five fields and three hosting units. Two fields and one of the hotels will be used exclusively by Santos, while the others will be under the management of NR sports and the Peralta group. As expected, the delivery should take place by June 2026, coinciding with the next World Cup.
In addition, it is planned to build an arena to 25,000 people, who will be able to alternate the command of the games with Vila Belmiro. “The counterparty is that Santos plays in this arena,” said Neymar’s father, stressing that the club will not have to endure a long -term debt, as the new CT will be sold per hundred years.
The father of the National Shirt 10 also highlighted the economic model behind the project. According to him, the maintenance of a stadium like Vila Belmiro represents a significant expense. Therefore, the surroundings of the new Arena should generate sustainable revenues, as with Allianz Parque, in San Paolo. “Santos needs revenue,” he said.
However, Santos planning includes the continuity of the project with Wtorre to modernize Vila Belmiro. “I wanted to keep the village as it is,” said Neymar Pai, in a humorous tone, during a press conference alongside President Marcelo Teixeira, underlining the role of idols such as Pelé and Neymar in the evaluation of the club’s image.
Finally, with the delivery of the new structure, CT Rei Pelé will be directed to the basic categories and men of the village to women’s football, optimizing the internal organization and allowing a more efficient management of the existing spaces.
