50,033 (Football)
The Estádio do Dragão (Portuguese pronunciation: [(ɨ)ˈʃtadiu du dɾɐˈɣɐ̃w]; Dragon Stadium) is an all-seater football stadium located in Porto, Portugal, and the current home ground of Futebol Clube do Porto. It has a capacity of 50,033, making it the third largest football ground in Portugal.
Designed by Portuguese architect Manuel Salgado, the stadium was built to replace Porto's previous ground, the Estádio das Antas, and was inaugurated on 16 November 2003 with a friendly match against Barcelona, which set an attendance record of 52,000 spectators. A UEFA category four stadium, it hosted UEFA Euro 2004 matches, including the opening, and has held several other international club competition and national team matches. It has also served as a concert venue to international musical artists, such as Coldplay, Muse and The Rolling Stones.
