About the place

The arena anchors sports life in Leganés, hosting professional football and large outdoor music events.

The stadium stands in Leganés as the home ground for CD Leganés, replacing the municipality's former venue, Estadio Luis Rodríguez de Miguel. It derives its name from the local patron saint, the adjacent public park, and the stream that flows through the district. Football fixtures represent its primary purpose, with the inaugural game played against Xerez following completion of the municipal construction project.
