Estádio do Fontelo, Municipal football stadium in Viseu, Portugal.
Estádio do Fontelo is a football stadium in Viseu featuring a natural grass pitch of 105 by 68 meters with an athletic track encircling the playing field. The facility accommodates approximately 6,900 spectators and includes medical facilities, press areas, changing rooms, and a gymnasium.
The stadium opened on 12 June 1928, and the first football match was played symbolically on 11 November 1928, St Martin's Day. It once held around 30,000 places, mostly standing, and now has 6,912 seats. In 2003 it hosted the UEFA European Under-17 Championship final.
The venue serves as the home ground for Académico Viseu FC and functions as a meeting place for local football supporters throughout the year. It represents the sporting identity of the city and brings the community together during match days.
The stadium sits inside the Parque Desportivo Municipal do Fontelo, which also holds the Campo 1.º de Maio on synthetic turf and the natural-grass Campo José Alves Madeira, used for training. The ground has 6,912 seated places and a synthetic athletics track around the pitch. Access to the stands depends on the event, so confirm arrangements with the club or municipality before travelling.
The stadium was one of the venues of the 2003 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and hosted its final. The sources record the tournament and the final but give no score, so the result is not stated here. The nickname "Mini Jamor" comes from its park setting.
