About Estadio Abanca-Balaídos
Balaídos was built in the early 1920s and opened in 1928, making it one of the older surviving top-flight football stadiums in Spain. It hosted three group-stage matches during the 1982 FIFA World Cup, cementing its place in Spanish football history. The ground has undergone several renovations over the decades, including the construction of a distinctive curved roof over the main stand. In recent years it was renamed Abanca-Balaídos following a commercial naming-rights agreement with the Galician bank Abanca, though supporters widely continue to refer to it simply as Balaídos.
Balaídos generates a passionate, tight-knit atmosphere typical of a stadium deeply embedded in its local community. The steep stands bring supporters close to the pitch, and the Gol Sur end is home to Celta's most vocal fans. Galician pride runs through the crowd on matchdays, and European nights in particular draw an intense, fervent atmosphere that makes the ground feel considerably more imposing than its modest capacity might suggest.
Set in Vigo, Estadio Abanca-Balaídos holds roughly 29,000 spectators and delivers a matchday and concert experience that draws crowds from across the region. Browse upcoming events below and buy with confidence on Staadly.

Many supporters reach the ground on foot from central areas, while local city buses serve the surrounding streets and drop off close to the stadium.
