What's happening at the City Council regarding Cagliari's new stadium? CiviCa24 city councilor Giuseppe Farris calls the lack of transparency "fueling legitimate doubts." Alarmed by the delays announced for the tender (scheduled for February and pushed to spring) after the club's financial plan was filed, the opposition representative has filed a question and a request for access to documents to view the documents. "No response to the first and no documents from the second," Farris attacks. "Meanwhile, only press leaks: unacceptable."
On December 14, 2025, the councilor explains, "Cagliari Calcio submitted the economic-financial plan (EFP) for the new stadium. This is a decisive step, impacting public finances, timelines, guarantees, and the future of a strategic project for the city and for all of Sardinia." On January 21, "Councilor for Sport, Giuseppe Macciotta, gave an interview in which he stated that 'legal-economic assessments' are underway and that there will be a 'deferral of the schedule.'"
Translated, according to Farris: "Something doesn't add up, but no one is explaining what. If there are legal and economic issues, citizens have the right to know about them. If the timetable changes," he continues, "the city council must be informed. If the PEF has been filed, there's no reason to keep it secret."
The administration's silence "is not neutral: it is a political choice that undermines transparency, undermines the Council's role, and fuels legitimate doubts. The new stadium cannot become yet another opaque operation," he concludes.
