Estadio Nuevo Arcángel History

Estadio Nuevo Arcángel first opened o5h October 1996 as a multi-purpose sports arena. Complete with an athletics track around the perimeter of the pitch, the stands were set back from the action, and there was only room for 15,500 fans which made it one of the smallest stadiums in both La Liga and the Segunda Division.

Prior to moving to their current ground, Córdoba CF played for just under 40 years at a stadium situated less than 500 yards from the current one. Simply known as just Estadio Arcangel, it represented a set of dated facilities and after evaluation it appeared to be more cost-effective to completely rebuild from scratch rather than to renovate.

Less than 10 years after opening the local council in conjunction with the football club announced plans to adapt the stadium to make it more suitable for soccer matches, with the distance between the stands and the pitch the first thing which was to be addressed.

A new 8,726 capacity grandstand was built on top of the athletics track complete with office facilities, and a few years later in September 2008 it was joined by a 3,983 capacity northern goal-end stand. The two missing pieces of the puzzle were later added during the 2012/2013 season.

The record league attendance to date was set on 24th January 2015 when a crowd of 21,495 saw Córdoba take on reigning European Champions, Real Madrid. Prior to this, however FC Barcelona attracted a full-house for a Copa del Rey match during the 2012/2013 season.

The closest hotel to the stadium appears to be La Posada Del Molino 10 minutes north of the stadium, but after you’ve reached the hotel where the Rio Guadalquivir bends, you’re basically in the city centre so you might as well look slightly further afield to get better value for money.
