Estadi Nacional (Andorra) - Andorra National Team Stadium Guide

Estadi Nacional d’Andorra was constructed over a period of a year on the site of the former Camp d’Esports del M.I. Consell General sports ground.

Capable of seating 3,306 supporters, Estadi Nacional is one of the smallest national stadiums in the world which is used for football – although with a population of around 85,000 it is perhaps understandable.

The inaugural competitive fixture took place on 9th September 2014 when Andorra took on Wales in a Euro 2016 qualification match. The hosts were narrowly defeated 2-1 after Real Madrid star Gareth Bale scored a brace to cancel out Andorra’s 8th minute penalty.

Attended by a crowd of 3,150 the opening fixture thus far holds the attendance record although the match against Belgium on 10th October is expected to run very close.

The playing surface is comprised of 3G artificial grass which is approved by European Football’s governing Body, UEFA.

Below is a seating plan of Andorra National Team's Estadi Nacional (Andorra):

Based on Wales’ match against Andorra back in 2014, the standard away allocation for international matches appears to be around 1,200 tickets. The travelling supporters therefore usually occupy the southern goal-end which runs for the width of the pitch.

There are at least half a dozen or so places listed on Google so rest assured that you can enjoy the stunning location with a few beers in hand.

There doesn’t appear to be a permanent store at the ground, merchandise and programmes are usually sold from various stalls around the stadium on matchday.

You can forget a stadium tour at such a small stadium!

Tickets should always be acquired through your country’s football federation, there are no on the day sales for international matches!
