Details of new stadium confirmed for Tigres UANL

Tigres stadium

Samuel Alejandro Garca Sepúlveda, the governor of Nuevo León, has announced the beginning of construction of the new Estadio Universitario, which will serve as the future home of Tigres UANL of Liga MX.

After signing a contract for the site on which the stadium will be built, Garca Seplveda declared in February that construction on the 65,000-seat stadium, which will serve as Tigres’ new home, was ready to start.  The project, whose development is anticipated to cost at least $486.1 million, has been given a 210,000 square metre plot.

Garca Seplveda, together with officials of the club, Populous, Cemex, UANL, Sinergia Deportiva, and Juego de Pelota, made the initial announcement of the plans for the 65,000-seat stadium during a press conference earlier in January 2022. The stadium was scheduled to be completed in 2025.

To enable year-round utilisation and provide a socially responsible and financially viable venue, the privately funded project also includes shops, hospitality, hotel rooms, offices, and classes for the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León.

The team won’t have to move during construction and will keep its location at the university with easy access to the city because the new stadium will be built on a parking lot next to the present Estadio Universitario.

García Sepúlveda stated via press release: “Today we are the epicentre of ‘nearshoring’ worldwide. Billions and billions of dollars are arriving, we are already at $25bn and we could not stay behind and not have the best stadium in Latin America and one of the best in the world – the new stadium of Tigres.

“This will become a representation of Nuevo León before Mexico and before the world.”

“This stadium was built in the 1960s, since then we have filled it. In the 60s we were at a million inhabitants, today we are six million and very soon we will be eight million. By simple proportion and population arithmetic rule, we no longer fit. Now our fans are ready for something bigger.”

Tigres aim to complete the stadium by 2026, as Mexico co-hosts the World Cup along side USA and Canada.

The Digital Playbook for Football Finance: Miagen’s Approach

Bringing Technology into Football Finance

Miagen, an Irish financial technology and analytics company, helps organisations plan and manage complex operations with data-driven solutions. Its SportsGen platform brings that same expertise into football, giving clubs the tools to manage their finances, optimise revenues, and stay compliant with regulations in an increasingly challenging environment.

Football clubs today are more than just sporting teams, they are multi-million-dollar businesses. To succeed on and off the pitch, they need accurate forecasting and clear insight into risk. SportsGen addresses this need by bringing together data from across a club’s operations into a single, easy-to-use system. It integrates ticketing, broadcasting, merchandise, sponsorships, and player contracts, giving club leaders a real-time view of their financial position.

By replacing spreadsheets and fragmented reports, SportsGen allows executives to see current and projected performance at a glance. Decisions about transfers, budgets, or commercial deals are based on data rather than guesswork. At the same time, finance teams spend less time on manual reporting and more time focusing on strategy and long-term planning.

Smarter Decisions and Revenue Growth 

SportsGen also allows clubs to model different scenarios. Managers can simulate the financial impact of wage changes, major transfers, or different league outcomes. Each scenario shows how income and spending would change, helping clubs understand the consequences of their choices before committing. This predictive capability is vital for clubs operating under financial fair play and other sustainability rules.

The platform doesn’t just control costs, it helps clubs grow revenue. SportsGen analyses matchday attendance, ticket pricing, merchandise sales, and sponsorship performance to spot opportunities and underperforming areas. Clubs can adjust pricing, design promotions, and maximise income, all while keeping their financial model stable and transparent.

With SportsGen, clubs can also plan several seasons ahead. Executives can forecast future wage growth, transfer spending, and commercial income to ensure alignment with long-term goals. Linking financial outcomes to sporting objectives allows clubs to grow in a disciplined, sustainable way, reducing the risk of overspending or breaking league regulations.

Financial Discipline Made Simple

SportsGen is essential for compliance and risk management. Football governing bodies have tightened rules on profitability and spending, and clubs need clear insight to stay within those limits. The platform continuously tracks key ratios, such as wage-to-revenue and debt-to-income, and sends alerts when a club approaches risk thresholds. This helps managers take action before problems arise, supporting long-term stability and stronger governance.

The system is highly adaptable, working for clubs of all sizes. Larger clubs benefit from its ability to scale across complex, global operations, while smaller clubs gain accurate, reliable financial control. Miagen’s experience in industries like aviation and logistics ensures that the platform can manage complexity while maintaining speed, accuracy, and accountability.

The rise of platforms like SportsGen marks a new era in football management. Finance, analytics, and technology have become central to how clubs operate. With accurate data and real-time forecasting, decisions can align sporting ambitions with financial realities. Miagen helps clubs stay competitive both on the field and in their financial management.

Conclusion

SportsGen represents a major step forward in football finance. It gives clubs the tools to manage revenue, control costs, comply with regulations, and plan confidently for the future. By combining technology, analytics, and financial expertise, Miagen helps clubs replace guesswork with informed decisions, supporting sustainable growth and long-term stability in a complex, high-stakes industry.
