The Estádio José Alvalade was a football stadium with an athletics facility in the municipality of Lumiar (3rd Bairro ) in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon . It was owned and home to the Sporting Lisbon football club and ultimately offered 52,800 seats. It was the club's sixth venue in its history. It was named after José Alfredo Holtreman Roquette (1885–1918), known as José Alvalade , the founder of Sporting .

history

The decision to build a larger, more modern stadium was based on the growing interest of spectators after the successes in the 1940s and 1950s ( champions 1941, 1944, 1947, 1948, 1949, 1951, 1952, 1953 and 1954 as well as cup winners in 1941, 1945, 1946, 1948 and 1954) and the resulting capacity problems in the Estádio do Lumiar, which was built in 1914 and renovated in 1947 . It was the first venue known as Estádio José Alvalade . On December 18, 1954, the building permit came. Work began on March 27, 1955. The venue, designed by the architect and soccer coach Anselmo Fernández , was inaugurated on the 50th birthday of Sporting on June 10, 1956, in front of around 60,000 visitors in the presence of President Francisco Craveiro Lopes . The spacious stadium area only offered a roof on the main stand. At the inauguration ceremony u. a. 1500 athletes from Sporting took part, who depicted the club's initials on the lawn. In the opening game, the home side lost 3-2 to the Brazilian club CR Vasco da Gama from Rio de Janeiro . From the opening until the 1980s, little happened on the stadium. In 1983 a new grandstand was built, which brought the capacity to 75,200 spectators. In the 1990s, the construction of a modern stadium, also with a view to Portugal's bid for the 2004 European Football Championship , was pushed ahead. After the contract for Portugal in October 1999, construction work began on the neighboring site in mid-January 2001. The stadium was demolished after the opening of the Estádio José Alvalade XXI in 2003.
