Turkish contractor Limak International has been chosen to build Luton Town Football Club’s new stadium with construction set to start this summer.

The new 25,000-capacity stadium at Power Court will hold its first competitive game at the start of the 2028/29 season.

Limak International has signed a Pre-Construction Services Agreement with Luton’s development arm after beating “multiple high-quality bidders.”

The Turkish based firm is one of the world’s 50 biggest construction firms and worked on the redevelopment of FC Barcelona’s iconic Spotify Camp Nou.

The project will also act as a catalyst for town-wide regeneration, with plans for new homes, a hotel, and other infrastructure as part of a decade-long project to lead in the revitalisation of central Luton.

Gary Sweet, Chief Executive of Luton Town Football Club, said: “This is a transformative opportunity for the club, helping us realise our ambitions to be a Premier League club again one day. We are united with the supporters on the need for a new stadium to move our Luton Town forward and we are delighted to be moving into this exciting construction phase.

“Partnering with a company of Limak’s international standing offers us a global perspective with local delivery. We will collaborate closely with them to ensure the stadium reflects the spirit and needs of the community.”

Gokalp Kahraman, Regional Director for the UK & Western Europe at Limak International said: “Following a competitive tender process, we’re delighted to enter this first phase of the new Power Court development.

“Limak will offer its technical expertise and international experience to guide the project’s early stages and prepare the recruitment of a best-in class team of trade contractors. We’re incredibly excited to work with the Club and its partners to bring its ambitious and impressive vision to life.”
