Braga's stadium has been put up for sale by the city council.
The 30,000 seater stadium was famously built into an old quarry cliff face for the 2004 Euros, but has proved to be unpopular amongst Braga fans.
The club currently pays just €500 per month to play in the stadium, making the long-term future unviable.

Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium in the Ivorian city of Abidjan has officially reopened ahead of the country's hosting of the 2024 African Cup of Nations.
The oldest stadium in the country was first opened in 1964 and has undergone extensive renovations to both the seating and the pitch. The 29,000 capacity stadium will host matches from group B in the tournament which is scheduled to start in mid January 2024.

The capacity of Old Trafford could be increased to 90,000 - if Sir Jim Radcliffe is successful in his attempt to purchase 25% of the club.
The British billionaire has been exploring the options of expanding and modernising the stadium in an attempt to keep up with the facilities offered by rivals Man City, Arsenal and Spurs.
Old Trafford is not on the list of stadiums in the running to host matches at Euro 2028. It's early stages, but if the upgrade does happen, it will tie with Wembley as the 2nd largest stadium in Europe.

PSV Eindhoven are weighing up their stadium options - with either redevelopment or a completely new stadium both being assessed.
The Dutch Eredivisie giants' current 35,000 capacity stadium is far too small for them, with club having over 9,000 people on the season ticket waiting list.
Adding a further 2,000 seats to the current ground is a potential option, as is the possibility of building a brand new stadium. The club is however keen to keep their current location in the centre of Eindhoven.

Liverpool have confirmed that the upper tier of the new Anfield Road stand won't be open until 2024.
The stand was originally planned to be fully open this year, but has been delayed due to the construction company falling into administration.
Liverpool had started selling tickets to fans for the upper tier, including for the upcoming matches against Man Utd, Arsenal and Newcastle.
Wednesday 11th October 2023
Oxford United have unveiled plans for a new 16,000 capacity stadium.
The club is looking to build a new ground in Kidlington, around 9 miles north of their current Kassam Stadium.
The new stadium will be home to both the club's mens and womens teams and is aimed to be opened in 2026.
The club needs to move by then as their lease at the Kassam stadium expires that year, with no option to extend it further. Oxford have played at the Kassam since 2001.

Aston Villa have been granted planning permission to increase the capacity of Villa Park to over 50,000.

Monday 7th August 2023
Italian Serie A club Salernitana has released plans to totally transform its Stadio Arechi.

The project will cost around €110m and is hoped to be completed by December 2025.
