The Estadi Municipal de Vilatenim is a stadium in Figueres , Catalonia (Spain).

The Catalan club UE Figueres plays its home games in this stadium.

On December 28, 1985 the construction of the stadium was planned in the municipality of Figueres , after the local team UE Figueres was about to rise. The stadium should initially have a capacity of 4,927 spectators and have a cost of 139,704,632 pesetas, but this was changed after the rise and the capacity increased to 9,472 seats. The parking lot was expanded and four 30 meter high floodlight masts with 18 reflectors were built, which have a total output of 400 kW. So in the end they came to around 200 million pesetas. The UE Figueres contributed 45 million pesetas.

Construction work began on January 26, 1986, and in the end 82 tons of reinforced concrete were used. The stadium was inaugurated on August 25 of the same year.

UE Figueres played the opening game there against FC Barcelona and won 3-1.
