Interior imagery of Valencia CF's future stadium, the Nou Mestalla, anticipates a wide view of the pitch with a closed bowl and elevated stands.

The future home of Valencia CF is beginning to reveal how football will be experienced from within. Interior imagery of the Nou Mestalla offers a first glimpse of the visibility fans will have of the pitch: a wide and immersive panorama. Valencia CF aims for the venue's completion in the summer of 2027.
The execution project includes a maximum capacity of 70,044 spectators, distributed across several tiers: lower tier, middle tier and boxes, upper tier 1, and upper tier 2. This configuration makes visibility a central element of the new venue, especially during a relocation process where thousands of season ticket holders will need to choose their seats for the first time outside the current Mestalla.
The lower tier will be the first major ring of the Nou Mestalla, accommodating 22,007 seats. This level will feature different seating profiles. The main block will consist of 18,248 conventional seats, supplemented by 2,036 "Grada Jove" (Young Stand) places in the north end, designed to concentrate cheering and atmosphere.
Above the lower tier will be the middle tier, with a total of 14,675 seats. This ring will have a more institutional profile, balancing general public, corporate, and premium offerings. This level will include 363 Tribuna Gold VIP+ seats, 148 Presidency seats, and 40 spaces for wheelchairs and companions. Additionally, there will be two large sections of conventional tribunes: 2,294 seats in the West Tribune and 3,234 in the East Tribune. The remainder of the ring will be completed by 8,596 general public seats in the north and south areas.
The third tier: the upper tier will be the stadium's main lung. If there is one area destined to hold the true volume of the Nou Mestalla, it will be the upper tier. Its total capacity will reach 31,389 seats (45% of the total), making it the venue's main lung and the primary source of popular capacity. The internal distribution of this tier will be very clear. The first level of the upper tier will have 14,902 general public seats, while the second level will provide another 16,201. In total, these two blocks alone will accommodate 31,103 seats for conventional spectators.
Images from a club promotional video regarding a partner agreement show the distance from the second tier to the pitch, both from the center circle or from behind the goal. Everything suggests that the inclination of the stands, less than that of the current Mestalla, and the closed shape of the venue favor an overall view of the game, especially for fans in the upper tiers, who will gain tactical perspective although losing proximity compared to the seats closest to the field.
