Main image

Estadio Municipal de Abanca Riazor is the main football stadium in A Coruña, Galicia, and serves as the historic home ground of Deportivo de La Coruña. The ground originally opened in 1944 and has been modernized several times since.

The venue stages domestic league and cup matches with seating for around 32,000 spectators and a standard-size natural grass pitch. Facilities include main stands, corporate areas and public concourses used on match days and for occasional concerts or events.

Major works during the late 20th and early 21st centuries updated spectator facilities and safety systems while preserving the stadium’s coastal setting. The ground remains owned by the city and leased to the club under municipal arrangements.

The stadium sits on the western edge of A Coruña near the Atlantic shoreline and the Riazor beach area, within easy distance of the city centre and main transport links.

  • Capacity and pitch: Seating capacity is roughly 32,000, and the pitch follows standard dimensions used for professional football at about 105 by 68 metres.
  • Access: Located on the city's coastline, public transport and walking routes from central A Coruña make the stadium easily reachable on match days.

How to Get to Estadio Municipal de Abanca Riazor #

Estadio Municipal de Riazor is in A Coruña on the city’s waterfront (Riazor/Paseo Marítimo area). From A Coruña city centre it’s an easy walk of around 15-20 minutes along the seafront promenade; from A Coruña railway station the stadium is roughly 2-3 km and is most quickly reached by a short taxi ride or local city bus to the Riazor area. Driving routes are straightforward within the city, but expect limited match-day parking.

Tips for Visiting Estadio Municipal de Abanca Riazor #

  • Check Deportivo de La Coruña's official site for matchday ticket release and assigned gates-tickets for derby fixtures or promotion/relegation matches can sell out, and the club posts gate/entry instructions ahead of games.
  • Arrive early on matchdays and use public transport or pedestrian access where possible; Riazor sits right by the seafront and the promenade provides a pleasant pre-match walk that many fans miss.
  • If you're visiting on a non-match day, enquire about stadium tours or the club museum in advance - these tours typically offer access to locker-room areas and club history that casual passersby do not see.
