Aberdeen FC’s New Stadium Could Be At Pittodrie Beachfront

Aberdeen FC's proposed Kingsford stadium

Aberdeen FC’s new stadium could be built at the city's beachfront, close to the club's current home at Pittodrie.

The club have already secured permission for a new ground at Kingsford, on the outskirts of Aberdeen, close to their training facilities.

However talks have since taken place over strengthening links between the city centre and beachfront.

Councillors are due to discuss the stadium at a meeting this week, where they will hear proposals to build the new stadium next to the beach leisure centre site.



In March 2019, Aberdeen FC were given the go-head for their plans for a new £50m 20,000-seat stadium in Kingsford.

Campaigners protested about the site encroaching into green belt land, and said that alternatives were available.

In a statement, the club said "Aberdeen Football Club remains supportive of the Council’s ambitious vision for both the city centre and the beachfront. We’re really impressed with both the scale and pace of the work to date.

"A new stadium at the beach, as part of an integrated approach to leisure and community amenities, is very exciting and we will continue to input constructively to the various consultations and studies which will inform the final plans."
