The centre-right candidate for the Municipality of Florence Eike Schmidt spoke about the situation regarding the stadium Artemio Franchi in view of the run-off with Sara Funaro of the centre-left which will take place in just over a week. These are her words on social media:
“From this year and for a long time, there will not be room in the stadium for all the fans. The club is at loggerheads with the Municipality which in recent years has prevented the most logical solution: the new stadium! What will I do if I am mayor? I will suspend work at Franchi. I will immediately start the project for the new stadium (there are spaces) which will be built and financed by @acffiorentina, together with ACF or with project financing. It can be done quickly, as happened at Viola Park and it will cost less than adapting the current stadium. When the team and fans finally have a suitable home, we will start the redevelopment of Franchi. It will be the Center Pompidou of the twenty-first century. A cutting-edge structure for architecture, design and technology in collaboration with businesses and universities. The cultural production of Florence will once again be at the center of the world!”.
