Estadi Nacional, sports stadium in Andorra la Vella, Andorra
Estadi Nacional is a modern sports stadium in Andorra la Vella used by Andorra's national teams for football and rugby matches. The venue holds just over 3,300 spectators, features an artificial playing surface with hybrid technology, and is built with glass-roofed stands and functional design.
The stadium was built between 2013 and 2014, replacing an older sports ground on the same site. The first official match took place in September 2014 against Wales, marking the start of a new era for Andorra's sports life.
Since FC Andorra and the national football teams moved to the Estadi de la FAF in Encamp in 2025, rugby has become the main sport here, with VPC Andorra Rugby XV playing in Spain's División de Honor B. The stadium also remains a backup venue for football when other grounds are unavailable.

The stadium's television gantry caught fire on 8 October 2021, the day before Andorra were to host England in a 2022 World Cup qualifier. The metal gantry and its equipment were badly damaged, a pitchside VAR monitor was destroyed, seating in a dugout melted and part of the artificial turf was scorched; repairs were finished in time for the match to be played there.
