The Estadio Balear (Catalan: Estadi Balear) is a football stadium located in Palma, Balearic Islands, Spain. Opened in 1960, but closed between 2013 and 2019 on safety grounds, it is the home stadium of CD Atlético Baleares. There is a covered stand with 4,200 seats, and the pitch's dimensions are 102×67 metres.[1]
History
[edit]Estadio Balear opened on 8 May 1960, with a 2–0 friendly win against Birmingham City.
On 14 June 2013, the stadium was closed by Palma city council due to a risk of collapse.[2] Four years and a half later, on 14 December 2017, the renovation works started and the capacity of the stadium would be reduced to about 4,200.[1]
During the stadium's closure, CD Atlético Baleares have played home games at the Camp de Son Malferit nearby.
The renovation of the stadium was scheduled to finish in August 2019.
