Mestalla

Mestalla Stadium stands in Valencia, Spain. The stadium is the home ground of top-flight La Liga club Valencia CF and can seat 49,500 fans.

The Estadio Mestalla first kicked off with a friendly match on May 1923 between Valencia CF and Levante UD. The newly-opened stadium had a capacity of 17,000, which increased throughout its decades of existence. During the Civil War, the Mestalla served as a concentration camp and storage. It would only retain its structure after suffering damage. But in the 1950s, the Mestalla was renovated, resulting in an increased seating capacity of 45,500. A replacement stadium, Nou Mestalla, started construction in 2007 but is yet to erected. The new arena is due to have a 61,500 seating capacity.

While the Mestalla holds club football duties, it also held its fair share if international match duties during the 1982 World Cup. The stadium also served as a venue for the 1992 Summer Olympics.
