According to LFF, the initial matches could potentially begin as late as the fall of 2027. In a video montage, Vilnius Mayor Valdas Benkunskas addressed the progress of the construction, stating that despite potential external speculation, the project remains on its established schedule. He emphasized that the goal of having the stadium structures and all related construction completed by late autumn of 2027 has not changed.
Benkunskas noted that tangible progress is consistently happening across various stages of the build. He observed that certain phases are advancing even faster than initially projected, indicating a steady momentum on site. The mayor concluded by expressing hope for continued smooth operations, wishing the construction crews good fortune to prevent any unforeseen crises or disruptions to the supply chain.
While the timeline remains ambitious, the official statements confirm that the foundational plan targets completion by the end of 2027. This projected date sets the stage for the return of major sporting events. The timing for the first competitive matches is thus pegged for late 2027, contingent upon the successful and uninterrupted continuation of the ongoing building efforts.
The focus remains on maintaining the current pace to meet the established structural deadline.
