San Lorenzo Secures Final 8,345 m² in Boedo, Completing Land Recovery

The city will assign the plots for 50 years under conditions requiring community scholarships, a 1,600 m² green corridor and a 20% construction target in ten years to enable a new stadium.

Overview

  • San Lorenzo announced on Tuesday that president Sergio Costantino signed an agreement adding the last 8,345 square meters previously held by Carrefour to the club's Boedo parcel.
  • Those plots were transferred first to Corporación Buenos Aires Sur and will be assigned to the club for a 50-year term rather than as permanent ownership.
  • The agreement requires San Lorenzo to grant sports scholarships for children in Comuna 8, build a 1,600 m² green corridor and complete at least 20% of the stadium project within ten years.
  • The move closes a decades-long recovery that began after land was taken during the last military dictatorship and follows the club’s legal possession of 27,000 m² in 2019.
  • The announcement comes during an internal election period with Costantino as a candidate and removes a key legal obstacle to building a new stadium while tying the project to community obligations and enforceable milestones.
