Premier League team Leicester City have unveiled plans to extend the King Power Stadium to hold 40,000 supporters.

An added 8,000 seats will be added to the East Stand.

The full plans will be made public in August.

It’s hoped consultations will take place during the rest of summer and early autumn.

Leicester chairman, Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha, said:

“The unveiling of these plans represents a significant milestone in the long history of Leicester City Football Club, and one that we hope will continue to put our supporters and our community at the heart of its long-term future.

“Through the consultation with our fans, our local community, businesses, and stakeholders, we hope to achieve something that we can all be proud of for years to come.

“It’s these conversations that will help us communicate our vision to the people at its heart and take on board the views of our community to help shape it.

“While this vision is in its early stages, I know the prospect of additional capacity for more Leicester City supporters in King Power Stadium, has long been anticipated by us all, particularly after seven near sold-out Premier League seasons.”
