Estadio da Nora, Football stadium in Ferreiras, Albufeira, Portugal
Estadio da Nora is a small football stadium in the parish of Ferreiras, part of Albufeira in Portugal. It has a single covered stand holding around 2,000 spectators, alongside changing rooms, a medical room, and a small bar on the grounds.
The stadium opened in 1988, after the local council of Albufeira purchased the land two years earlier to give the community a dedicated sports ground. Over the following decades, it received several upgrades, including enclosed perimeter walls, new changing rooms, and a small pavilion.
On match days, residents of Ferreiras gather on the benches to cheer for FC Ferreiras, which plays in the Algarve 1st District Division. The ground serves as a meeting point for families and neighbors who follow local football closely.
The stadium is in Ferreiras, about a 10-minute drive from central Albufeira, and is most easily reached by car. On match days, parking fills up quickly on the surrounding streets, so arriving early makes the visit smoother.
In November 2015, heavy rainfall flooded the pitch to a depth of about 1 meter (3 feet), damaging the changing rooms, laundry area, medical station, and some of the club's vehicles. The cost of repairs was estimated at around 100,000 euros.
