The Estadio Vicente Calderón ( German Vicente Calderón Stadium ) was a football stadium in the Spanish capital Madrid , located directly on the Manzanares River. The club's own stadium was the home of the Atlético Madrid football club until the summer of 2017 and held 54,907 spectators. It was with great facilities of the UEFA in the category 4 (to 2010 Elite Stadium classified). For the 2017/18 season Atlético moved to the converted Wanda Metropolitano with 67,703 seats. The old home of the capital city dwellers was demolished from February 2019 to July 2020.
The construction of the stadium did not consist of a round grandstand, as is usually the case for stadiums of this capacity, but of a free-standing, covered main grandstand and an open semicircular grandstand opposite. What was unusual was that Madrid's city motorway, which runs along the banks of the river, runs directly under the main stand. The seating in the stands was held in the club colors red, white and blue.

After the purchase of land for the stadium on March 16, 1961, construction began that same year. The arena celebrated its inauguration on October 2, 1966 and was named “Estadio del Manzanares” after the river Manzanares, on whose banks the stadium stands.

In the 1970s, the stadium was rebuilt on behalf of President Vicente Calderón . On February 6, 1972 in the game against Athletic Bilbao , which ended in a 1: 2 defeat, the newly built main stand was inaugurated. The main stand is completely covered (5,000 m²) and is made of iron and aluminum. For the official inauguration of the entire converted stadium, an international match between Spain and Uruguay was held on May 23, 1972 , which the hosts won 2-0. The venue was renamed from “Estadio del Manzanares” to “Estadio Vicente Calderón” in honor of the patron and club president Vicente Calderón .

1000 apartments are to be built on the building site of the stadium . The demolition work began in February 2019. When the opposite grandstand and the back-end grandstands are removed, a detour road will be built over the former playing field in order to demolish the main grandstand as the last grandstand element.
