Auxerre, the French football club based in the city of Auxerre, is set to announce its plans for the upcoming season in a press conference on Monday.
The club has been heavily involved in discussions with local authorities and government officials regarding the development of a new stadium in the city center. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, which coincides with the club's centenary year.
In addition to the stadium, the club will also be investing in other infrastructure projects, such as improving the training facilities and creating more space for fans.
"We are excited about this opportunity to invest in our club and the community," said club president Jean-Claude Dassier. "We believe that this new stadium will not only enhance the fan experience but also bring in new investment and growth for the region."
The announcement comes after months of negotiations between the club and various stakeholders, including the city council and the French Football Federation (FFF). The FFF has expressed its support for the project and has provided funding to help cover some of the costs associated with building the stadium.
"The FFF is proud to support Auxerre in their efforts to develop a new stadium in the heart of the city," said FFF president Bernard Cools. "This project is an important step forward for the city of Auxerre and we look forward to seeing it come to fruition."
Overall, Auxerre's plans for the upcoming season are focused on growth and expansion. With the completion of the new stadium and continued investment in infrastructure, the club hopes to build upon its success over the past decade and continue to be a major force in French football.
