Everything is ready for the second phase of the renovation of the old Quartu stadium, closed for years, repeatedly vandalized, and previously occupied illegally. Following the ongoing renovation of the stands, locker rooms, and the former caretaker's house, work will soon begin on the 11-a-side football pitch and athletics track, both stalled for years by a dispute between the Municipality and Cagliari Calcio, sparked by the departure of the Rossoblù, which was resolved last year with a settlement agreement.
Today, the heads of the Department of Public Works, led by Councilor Antonio Conti, met with representatives of the company awarded the €1.3 million contract, funded by the Region and partially by the municipal budget, to define the timing and scope of the work. The work will begin with the removal of overgrown shrubs and trees within and around the pitch, which once hosted Serie A soccer matches, and then continue with work on the pitch, where real grass will be restored, and on the athletics track. Meanwhile, the NRRP (National Renewable Energy Network) worksite, funded with €1.6 million, is nearly complete. Work is concentrated on the stands, the locker rooms, and the building that once housed the caretaker's lodge.
