Estadi Ciutat de València

The Estadi Ciutat de València has been the home of Levante UD since 1969 and is one of the historic stadiums of Valencian football. It was built on former market garden land in the Orriols area to replace the old Estadio de Vallejo, which had become too small following the club’s growth.

The stadium was officially opened on 9 September 1969 with a friendly match between Levante UD and Valencia CF. Since then, it has been the setting for key moments in Levante’s history, including the club’s First Division debut at this stadium in 2004 and its first European nights during the 2012/13 Europa League.

Throughout its history, it has had several names. It was originally named the Estadio Antonio Román, in honour of Levante’s president at the time; it was renamed the Nou Estadi in 1972; and it adopted its current name, Estadi Ciutat de València, in 1999.

The stadium has undergone various refurbishments, particularly in recent decades. In 2020/21, a major refurbishment was completed, incorporating a new roof, video scoreboards and a much more modern look, whilst retaining the venue’s distinctive structure.

HOW TO GET THERE
The Ciutat de València is situated in the Orriols neighbourhood, in the north of the city, next to the Ronda Nord.

The easiest way to get there by public transport is via the Metrovalencia tram. The Estadi Ciutat de València stop, on Line 6, is practically right next to the stadium.

You can also get there by city bus, and from the centre of Valencia, the journey by bike is quite straightforward.

If you’re walking from the historic centre, allow approximately 35–40 minutes, although on match days it’s probably best to take the tram.
