Antiguo canódromo de Carabanchel, Sports stadium in San Isidro, Madrid, Spain.
The Antiguo Canodromode Carabanchel is a sports facility in Madrid that features football fields with artificial turf and seating for approximately 4,000 spectators. The complex includes separate training areas designed to support different teams and athletic activities.
The site was built between 1960 and 1962 as a greyhound racing track for the Madrid Greyhound Society. The facility transformed into a football complex in 2007 after racing events ended in 1989.
The circular layout of the grounds still reflects its original purpose when you walk around the facilities. This design shapes how people experience the space today and connects visitors to the site's past.
The facility is located at Via Carpetana 67 and is easily accessible by public transport. Visitors will find modern amenities and grounds that are used for various activities throughout the week.
The site hosted Spanish championships for greyhound racing during the 1960s through 1980s. It briefly experienced a phase where conversion into a cycling velodrome was considered for a possible Olympic project.
