The El Campín stadium project in Bogotá is facing logistical and infrastructural challenges. Construction of the new stadium has been delayed until December 2028, following a seven-month delay by the contractor, Sencia, in submitting necessary traffic studies. To maintain venue availability, Mayor Carlos Fernando Galán announced the new stadium will be built in a different sector of the complex, allowing the current Nemesio Camacho El Campín to remain operational. The redesigned facility is expected to feature an increased capacity of over 60,000 spectators and a retractable roof.

While the new construction is pending, the existing stadium is experiencing operational issues. Significant damage to the pitch caused by a recent BTS concert has threatened the scheduling of upcoming football matches for clubs Millonarios and Independiente Santa Fe. Although Sencia has begun reinstalling grass, the recovery process may force the rescheduling of matches originally set for mid-October.
