La Romareda

Estadio de La Romareda ([esˈtaðjo ðe la romaˈɾeða]) was a municipally-owned football stadium in Zaragoza, Spain. Operated by 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. On 8 July 2024, demolition of the original La Romareda began. Its replacement, Nueva Romareda, will feature 43,110 seats for football matches, with expandable capacity for concerts and large-scale events. The new stadium is scheduled to be fully operational by 31 August 2027, allowing Real Zaragoza to move into their new home for the 2027–28 season. On 25 May 2025, the last official match was played at La Romareda. Real Zaragoza defeated Deportivo de La Coruña 1–0.
