This means that nothing stands in the way of a new stadium, which is to be financed by FC Sion president Christian Constantin to the tune of CHF 450 million.
In January 2024, the city of Sion, the cantonal sports office, the Valais Football Association and FC Sion signed a declaration of intent to ensure the continued existence of professional football and young talent in Valais.
After 18 months of work, the four partners made several fundamental decisions, which were presented at a press conference on Friday. The option of renovating the Tourbillon Stadium has been abandoned. The infrastructure will remain in operation until a new stadium is built. The signatories reaffirm their intention to develop a football academy in Sion to train the next generation of elite players.
