Description
Estadi Comunal d’Andorra la Vella is a football stadium located in Andorra la Vella, Andorra. Although it is located in the capital of the principality, it is a pretty small venue that can only host 1300 people. Moreover, such a capacity is enough for the stadium to be one of largest grounds in Andorra. Estadi Comunal d’Andorra la Vella features a running track around the football field. The dimensions of the ground are 105 m x 68 m.
It is the permanent home of the Segona Divisió and the Primera Divisió, the highest football leagues in Andorra. The teams used to use Camp d’Esports d’Aixovall (DEVK-Arena), a stadium with a capacity of 1,000 people that was located in Aixovall until it was fully demolished in 2016.
Before 2014, the ground also hosted all national football team games that took place in the principality, but the situation changed when the Estadi Nacional was built.
