The stories about new stadiums for the wealthiest football clubs have never been louder than in the first quarter of 2025. Manchester United and Newcastle have announced the construction of massive projects expected to be completed within the next five or six years. Everton is finally moving to the long-awaited and expensive Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium in August, and Chelsea has not remained immune to talks about a new stadium either.🗣️ Todd Boehly reveals to @business he thinks Chelsea will opt for a new-build stadium. “Inside of London it’s really complex. It’s not like we are building something in a rural environment. We have a lot of constituents to make sure we care about. Certainly the Chelsea fan base… pic.twitter.com/5V3Jj3clNe— Ben Jacobs (@JacobsBen) March 24, 2025 Todd Boehly admits that there is disagreement between him and the other two co-owners of Clearlake Capital, as they do not see the situation regarding a potential new stadium in the same way.”We have to think long-term about what we are trying to achieve. We have a great opportunity for stadium development that we must take advantage of. The NBA will increasingly expand into Europe, and they will need stadiums that can be transformed into large basketball arenas. Whoever has that will be the economic winner” Boehly assures.Chelsea didn’t hesitate – Blues splash out fortune for United’s targetAccording to English media reports, such words are not particularly welcomed by Behdad Eghbali and Jose Feliciano, the other two co-owners of Clearlake Capital. The duo is more inclined to listen to public opinion—or rather, the fans—who would prefer Stamford Bridge to be renovated. Boehly believes that, in the long run, this is not the best solution.”Chelsea’s fan base is one thing, and I respect it greatly, but everyone will soon realize that building something new and more modern is the right move.”Boehly shruggs off fans’ protest with ‘grocery store‘ remarkAlthough the stadium appears to be a contentious issue among the owners, Todd Boehly insists they are aligned on everything else. This includes their plan to build a team with the world’s most promising young footballers, such as Willian Estevao, Kendry Paez, and Geovanny Quenda—three 17-year-old wonderkids who have already signed contracts with Chelsea and will join the club in June.”If you look at the evolution of the team, we have been aligned in what we are trying to do and what we are trying to build. It’s a young team. It’s a team with contracts for the next eight, nine, or ten years. All these things we are implementing have been aligned—only on the stadium issue are we divided, but on nothing else. We are executing a plan that will ultimately bring Chelsea back to where it belongs,” Boehly assures. It is also worth noting that Todd Boehly added that he believes Chelsea is now worth more than the 2.5 trillion pounds they paid for the club in May 2022.2026 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS – AFRICATuesday16:00: (1.30) Botswana (5.00) Somalia (12.0)19:00: (2.00) Angola (2.90) Cape Verde (4.30)19:00: (4.00) Benin (2.70) S.Africa (2.20)19:00: (1.28) Nigeria (5.40) Zimbabwe (12.0)19:00: (1.53) Rwanda (3.70) Lesotho (7.75)19:00: (3.00) Uganda (2.95) Guinea (2.45)22:00: (1.10) Burundi (10.5) Seychelles (22.0)22:00: (1.35) Cameroon (4.60) Libya (10.5)22:00: (1.17) Egypt (7.25) Sierra Leone (17.0)22:00: (1.35) Sudan (4.60) South Sudan (10.5)00:00: (1.38) Algeria (4.40) Mozambique (10.0)00:00: (1.17) Comores (7.50) Chad (16.0)00:00: (3.20) Mauritania (2.80) Dr Congo (2.60)00:00: (1.30) Senegal (5.20) Togo (11.0)00:30: (1.12) Morocco (9.50) Tanzania (19.0)***odds are subject to changes***
