# Paide begins planning process for new 4,000-plus capacity football stadium
Paide municipality has begun preparations for the construction of a new football stadium that would expand the facilities used by Premium liiga side Paide Linnameeskond.

The Paide city council has launched a tender to commission a strategic preliminary environmental impact assessment for the detailed plan covering the proposed Paide football arena and its surrounding area, according to the local newspaper – Järva Teataja.

Plans for the site include a new stadium with capacity for more than 4,000 spectators, as well as a padel and tennis centre and a car park. The stadium is earmarked for a plot behind the existing football hall and artificial pitch, on woodland adjacent to the current natural grass stadium.

The city government wants the assessment work completed by 10th April, though the stadium itself is not expected to be finished for several years.
