Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos

Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos is a multi-purpose stadium in Almeria, Spain. It is the home ground of UD Almeria, and holds 15,274 people.

History

Inaugurated on 31 July 2004 and originally built for the 2005 Mediterranean Games, the stadium cost around €21 million, which was paid by the Ayuntamiento de Almeria. It subsequently became UD Almeria's home stadium, replacing Estadio Municipal Juan Rojas, with the latter being used by the reserve team.

The stadium was expanded from 15,000 to 21,350 after Almeria's promotion to La Liga. Since 2012, the club uses extra seats behind the goals for avoiding the use of the part of the stadium which is the furthest of the pitch. With this configuration, the capacity is reduced to 15,274.
