Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta, Football stadium in Sabadell, Spain.
The Estadi de la Nova Creu Alta is a football stadium in Sabadell, Catalonia, Spain, with a natural grass pitch and stands that hold around 12,000 spectators. The ground has both covered and open sections, along with a scoreboard and the standard facilities expected at a professional football venue.
The stadium opened in 1967 as a replacement for the original Creu Alta ground that had previously served the local club. It was later upgraded in preparation for its role as an Olympic venue in 1992.
The ground is home to CE Sabadell FC, and on match days local fans fill the stands with chants and team colors. The club has a loyal following in the city, and attending a home game gives a good sense of how football shapes everyday life here.
The stadium sits in central Sabadell and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport from the city center. Arriving early on match days is a good idea, as the area around the ground gets busy before kickoff.
During the 1992 Olympics, football matches were played here even though Barcelona was the host city. That makes this ground one of the few places outside Barcelona that actually hosted Olympic competition.
