Scunthorpe United's planning application for the new £25m stadium has just been signed off, with work starting this May.
The 12,000-seater stadium will be built on the outskirts of Scunthorpe as part of the ambitious £1.2bn Lincolnshire Lakes development.
The Lincolnshire Lakes scheme will includes the building of recreational lakes and artificial beaches, accommodating activities such as windsurfing, sailing, boating, outdoor swimming, cycling and triathlon. There will also be a business park and 6,000 new homes.
Chiarman Peter Swann said, “We are at the beginning of a hugely exciting period for Scunthorpe and North Lincolnshire, one which will help to define the area and provide some of the finest football and sports facilities in the country.”
