Estádio do Bonfim, Football stadium in Setúbal, Portugal
Estádio do Bonfim is a football stadium in Setúbal, Portugal, home to Vitória F.C. It has a current capacity of 15,497 seats, with stands that show signs of age and a simple, functional layout.
The stadium opened in 1962, replacing the old Campo dos Arcos, and was built with contributions from the people of Setúbal. Over the years it hosted top-flight football and European nights, but financial difficulties led the city council to take over the grounds in 2020 to protect them from property speculation.
On match days, the stands fill with local supporters who gather to follow Vitória de Setúbal, and the ground remains a meeting point for the city. The nearby Parque do Bonfim often has people strolling before and after games, linking the stadium to everyday life in Setúbal.
The stadium sits close to the main railway station and the old town, so you can walk there in a few minutes. Access is straightforward, but some areas may be closed on non-match days, so check locally before planning a visit.
In 2019, the stadium hosted a top-division match that drew only 298 spectators, the lowest attendance ever recorded in Portugal's Primeira Liga. The ground also has four floodlight pylons, each 46 meters tall, installed in 1970.
