Aston Villa is in the process of modernizing its iconic Villa Park. The venue’s north stand will be expanded and refurbished, raising its capacity to over 12,000, while upgrades are being carried out across all other stands. The project will increase the total capacity to over 50,000, enhance the fan experience, and support matchday and non-matchday revenue growth. Completion is planned for 2027, ahead of Villa Park’s role as a host venue for UEFA EURO 2028.
The Stadium Consultancy was contracted by the club to assist in the development of the stadium through reviewing the expansion for Villa Park and strategizing the expansion and refurbishment of the bowl. We are also assessing these modernisations against the requirements for hosting UEFA EURO 2028.

- Design Reviews and Supervision:
- North Stand Extension
- Stadium Bowl Additions & Alterations
- UEFA EURO 2028 Compliance:
