Estádio D. Afonso Henriques

Estádio D. Afonso Henriques is a football stadium in Guimarães with around 30,000 covered seats and serves as home to Vitória Sport Clube. The venue features distinct seating sections and facilities designed to accommodate both domestic matches and European competitions.

The stadium was built in 1965 as the Municipal Stadium of Guimarães and received its current name in 1989 in honor of Portugal's first king. Over the decades, it evolved from a local venue into a regional sports facility hosting major competitions.

The stadium is where the people of Guimarães gather to share their passion for football and build community bonds. Match days shape the rhythm of city life, bringing neighbors and friends together around their team.

The stadium is located on Avenida São Gonçalo with multiple entry gates to distribute visitor flow. Arriving early on match days helps secure parking and avoid long queues at entry points.

The stadium features decorative tiles inside depicting Guimarães Castle, weaving local heritage into the sports experience. These artisanal details give the modern venue a cultural connection to the city's past.
