Key details
The municipality of Tres Cantos has officially announced the construction of a new football field, investing over 2.5 million euros in a project spanning more than 15,000 square meters. This facility aims to enhance local sports opportunities and community well-being by providing a versatile playing surface suitable for 11-a-side football, which can also be divided into two 7-a-side pitches to serve local clubs and sports schools.
Located near the Arroyo del Bodonal between Avenida de los Montes and Avenida de la Industria, the new field will feature covered seating for 180 spectators, including designated spaces for individuals with reduced mobility. Essential amenities such as changing rooms, restrooms, a first aid room, and storage areas will also be included. The design prioritizes integration with the natural environment, using lightweight structures and accessible pathways, while incorporating sustainability and energy-efficiency measures like adaptable lighting and low-consumption equipment.
Mayor Jesús Moreno highlighted this initiative as a reflection of Tres Cantos’ commitment to quality sports infrastructure, meeting the growing demand from over 1,800 players across five federated clubs and a local 7-a-side league with 54 teams. Councilors Javier Juárez and Eduardo Lorca underscored the project’s role in promoting family enjoyment, social interaction, and improved training opportunities for local sports organizations.
This new football field will become the sixth municipal pitch and the fourth dedicated to 11-a-side football, demonstrating Tres Cantos’ dedication to fostering community health and quality of life through sports.
