Mestalla

The prestigious British newspaper 'The Telegraph' published a special report in their sports section about the 20 greatest grounds in European football when FC Barcelona announced their intention to revamp their ground for the 2020/21 campaign. Mestalla was ranked second. ‘The Telegraph’ describes the stadium by saying: ”The steepest stands of any major ground in Europe still take your breath away, even if you have seen them a thousand times”.

Mestalla was ranked above other Spanish grounds such as the Camp Nou, Santiago Bernabéu and Vicente Calderón, as well as other legendary grounds like the Parc des Princes, Anfield, Allianz Arena, Old Trafford, and the Giuseppe Meazza.

Mestalla has hosted the majority of home games in Valencia Club de Fútbol’s history. Given the name of one of the canals that irrigate the city, mentioning Mestalla today evokes memories of great sporting moments, important events of all kinds and, above all, excellent nights of football. Many generations of Valencianistas have passed through the gates of Mestalla, all united by a common passion for Valencia CF.
