Estadio de la Cerámica, Football stadium in Vila-real, Spain
Estadio de la Cerámica is a football venue in Vila-real, eastern Spain, with four covered stands and 24,891 seats. The pitch measures 105 by 68 meters and sits within a compact rectangular enclosure.
The ground opened on June 17, 1923, as Campo del Villarreal and became known as El Madrigal from 1925 onward. The current designation was introduced in 2017 to reflect closer ties with local industry.
The name honors the ceramics industry that has shaped the town's economy for centuries. Visitors notice this connection in the tiles and materials used throughout the venue itself.
Matches typically take place in the evenings or on weekends, with the covered stands offering shelter from sun and rain. The venue's 30 VIP boxes feature air conditioning and separate access for a more comfortable experience.
The capacity equals roughly half of Vila-real's total population, meaning nearly every second resident could attend on match day. This proportion shows how closely the club and community are woven together.
