Atalanta are celebrating a special day as they prepare to play their first match in the newly renovated Gewiss Stadium. The completion of the stadium project marks a significant milestone for the club’s management, as emphasized by CEO Luca Percassi in an interview with DAZN.
Percassi expressed his excitement about the long-awaited renovation, stating, “We’ve been talking about the renovation for many years, and this is the crowning of a dream. The result is very gratifying for us.”
The Atalanta executive highlighted the importance of maintaining the club’s connection to its roots and supporters. “Atalanta’s stadium has become Atalanta’s property, but it was right that the renovation took place where it was born – in the midst of our fans,” Percassi explained.
This sentiment underscores the club’s commitment to preserving its identity while modernizing its facilities. The renovated Gewiss Stadium is expected to enhance the matchday experience for fans and provide a state-of-the-art venue for the team.
Looking ahead to the upcoming season, Percassi remained cautious, concluding, “It will be a very, very difficult championship.” This statement reflects the competitive nature of Serie A and the challenges Atalanta will face as they aim to build on their recent successes.
