Estádio José Alvalade, Football stadium in Lumiar, Portugal

The current 50,095-seat stadium features a green exterior design with four covered grandstands connected by corner sections forming a complete oval structure.

The stadium opened on August 6, 2003, with Sporting CP defeating Manchester United 3-1 in an inaugural match that launched Cristiano Ronaldo's career.

The Sporting Museum inside the stadium displays extensive collections of trophies, photographs, and memorabilia documenting the century-long history of the club.

The stadium includes multiple access points, dedicated parking areas, and direct connection to Campo Grande metro station on the green and yellow lines.

Portuguese architect Tomás Taveira designed the stadium as part of the Alvalade XXI complex, which incorporates a shopping center, health club, and office buildings.
