Estadio Nueva España, Football stadium in Parque Avellaneda, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Estadio Nueva España is a football stadium in the Parque Avellaneda neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It has a capacity of around 32,500 spectators and serves as the home ground of Club Deportivo Español.
The stadium opened in 1981 as Estadio España with a friendly against Deportivo La Coruña. In 1996 it was rebuilt and renamed Nueva España, and after a closure in 2003 it reopened in 2007 under city management.
The main stand is split into three sections, each painted in one of the colors from the club's crest. On match days, the stand opposite the main one is draped with flags representing each region of Spain.
The ground sits at the crossing of Santiago de Compostela and Asturias avenues, with the main stand holding around 3,000 seated fans. The visitor section is on the far side, so check the layout before choosing a spot.
After years of neglect, the pitch was overgrown with shrubs and vines, and animals grazed on the sidelines. Supporters then repainted the entire ground for the first time, covering the stands in the colors of the Spanish flag.
