Encyclopedic overview
Estadio de La Romareda ([esˈtaðjo ðe la romaˈɾeða]) was a football stadium in Zaragoza, Spain. Home to Real Zaragoza, it was inaugurated on 8 September 1957 with a match against Osasuna, which ended 4–3. The stadium’s official capacity was 33,608, with average attendances of around 20,000 for Real Zaragoza fixtures. It ranked as the 12th-largest stadium in Spain and the largest in Aragon.
Over the years, La Romareda underwent several renovations, notably in 1977 and 1982, when it served as a venue for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. It also hosted group-stage matches and a quarterfinal during the 1992 Summer Olympics. In 1994, the stadium was converted into an all-seater, and that same year it staged the FIRA Trophy match between Spain and Romania.
