NBA Legend Manu Ginobili Invests in Sports Performance Hub with Miami FC Stadium, Academy and Hotel

The $280 million Sports Performance Hub will feature a 10,000-seat stadium, elite training facilities, and academic programs, aiming to attract global students, officials said.

  • Manu Ginobili, former San Antonio Spurs star, is investing in the Sports Performance Hub, part of a $280 million privately funded development with a planned 10,000-seat stadium for Miami FC.
  • The concept aims to connect elite sports training with rigorous academics, and developers selected Homestead, about 35 miles south of Downtown Miami, for available land and long-term potential.
  • Partners named include Riccardo Silva, Juan Sebastian Veron and Darío Sala alongside Manu Ginobili, and the group appointed longtime sports executive Nick Sakiewicz CEO in recent weeks, filing phased plans for tennis courts and training facilities.
  • Groundbreaking is set for March with planners targeting a 2028 opening, and Mayor Steve Losner said late last year the facility could benefit Homestead, Florida and Miami‑Dade County economically.
  • SPH aims to attract students from around the world, with Manu Ginobili saying, `You don't have to be blind to see the growth that Miami has experienced in the last 20 years.
