Estadio de Mestalla

The oldest ground in La Liga and famous for its near-vertical north stand; the long-planned Nou Mestalla remains unfinished.

Estadio de Mestalla has been the home of Valencia since 1923, and holds 49,430 spectators for football. The playing surface is grass, and the record attendance of 75,000 was set in a fixture that still gets talked about in Valencia.

For a matchday, the ground sits in Valencia and is served by local rail and bus routes; arriving 45 minutes before kick-off is the difference between a queue and a seat. Away supporters are usually housed in one corner block, and the atmosphere is loudest behind the goal at the home end.
