Córdoba Stadium

Estadio Nuevo Arcángel

Estadio Nuevo Arcángel

Córdoba, Avenida del Arcángel 21,384 capacity

Córdoba CF plays at Estadio El Arcángel, located in Córdoba, a historic city in Andalusia, southern Spain, on the Guadalquivir River. With a capacity of approximately 20,989 spectators, the stadium has been Córdoba's home since 1942 and takes its name from the Archangel — an appropriate name for a city that is home to the Mezquita-Catedral, one of the world's greatest Islamic monuments, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stadium has a traditional design with a covered main stand and characteristic Andalusian character, sitting in a city that was once the largest city in Western Europe during the Moorish Caliphate period and remains one of Spain's most historically extraordinary urban centres.

Córdoba CF enjoyed their most celebrated period in the 2014–15 La Liga season, their first-ever appearance in Spain's top flight, reaching the Primera División for the first time in the club's history. The Estadio El Arcángel was filled to capacity for historic La Liga fixtures against Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético de Madrid, creating scenes of extraordinary joy in a city that had never before witnessed top-flight Spanish football. The experience, while ending in relegation, confirmed Córdoba as a club capable of competing at the highest level, and the memories of those La Liga occasions are treasured by the Córdoba football community.

Córdoba CF's subsequent financial difficulties dropped the club through multiple divisions before their rebuild and return to La Liga 2. El Arcángel has been maintained and improved throughout this turbulent period, and the club's return to professional football's second tier has been welcomed by a city whose UNESCO heritage, Semana Santa (Holy Week) celebrations, and extraordinary Alhambra-adjacent location make it one of Spain's most compelling cities. As Córdoba CF re-establishes itself in La Liga 2, Estadio El Arcángel provides a historic and characterful venue for the club's continued development in Spain's professional football structure.
