INAUGURATION: 6 August 2003
First class stadium
Finally, the wish of the Viscount of Alvalade has come true: "this club will be as big as the biggest in Europe " and, for a great team, a great stadium. Located in an urban zone adjacent to the current stadium, the new project is integrated within a larger complex with sports and residential components, the latter including housing, shops and services.
Great views
The new stadium seats some 52,000 spectators. Its modern design includes full covering for all seats. The stadium is part of a larger complex, which includes restaurants and bars, a cinema multiplex and bowling alley, as well as a medical centre and a health club.
