Nuevo Estadio de Los Cármenes ([esˈtaðjo ˈnweβo los ˈkaɾmenes]) is a multi-use stadium in Granada, Spain. Currently, it is used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 19,336 people,[2] and was built in 1995 to be the home ground of Granada CF, the main football club of the city.
History
The stadium opened on 16 May 1995. On 6 June 1995, Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen contested the first match at the new stadium. Real Madrid won the match with a final score of 1:0. Peter Dubovský scored the goal.
