Celtic's Estadio Nacional to Undergo €25 Million Renovation

The Estadio Nacional, the historic stadium where Celtic won the European Cup in 1967, is set for a €25 million renovation aimed at preserving its heritage while modernizing the venue. The project, led by AFL Architects in collaboration with Portuguese firms, will introduce innovative designs, including a new suspended roof over the stands. The stadium, while not frequently used, still hosts significant events like the Portuguese cup final and rugby matches. Meanwhile, Scottish national coach Steve Clarke faces critical decisions as he prepares for World Cup qualifiers, balancing loyalty to veteran players with the need for fresh talent. Clarke's past successes with the national team highlight the importance of strategic choices for the upcoming campaign. In club football, Aberdeen's recent draw against Hibernian, marked by dramatic late goals, has shifted their momentum and added pressure on both teams as they navigate a challenging league season.
