Estadio Coliseum (Spanish pronunciation:[esˈtaðjokoliˈsewn]) is a municipally ownedfootballstadium inGetafe, Spain. It is the home ground ofGetafe CF.
The stadium was built in 1998 and currently, after several extensions, it has a capacity of 17,393 people, with an average attendance of 10,579 (62.2%) in the 2009/10 season and 9,072 in the 2010/11 season. In the west stand a roof was installed, covering almost all of the stand in order to protect fans from inclement weather. In recent years the average attendance at the Coliseum barely exceeds 9,000 fans.
Getafe CF has played in this stadium since 30 August 1998, when the team from the south of Madrid played their first game againstTalavera CF, having left the provisional EstadioJuan de la Cierva where they played only one year, after the demolition of the mythical Estadio Municipal de Las Margaritas. Although Getafe CF played on 30 August, the official opening took place a few days later, on 2 September 1998 with a triangular match that would haveAtletico Madrid,Borussia Dortmund andFeyenoord.
In this stadium the Madrid team has experienced the golden age of the club, two ascensions to the Second Division, a promotion to the Primera División, qualifying for two Copa del Rey finals with eliminations in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey againstFC Barcelona andRacing de Santander and a quarter-final of theUEFA Cup againstFC Bayern Munich in 2008.
The stadium has also played several friendly matches between national football teams. In May 2010 theWomen's UEFA Champions League Final was held at the Coliseum.
The previous stadium of Getafe was called Estadio de las Margaritas and was located near where today is the University Residence "Fernando de los Ríos", in the Avenida de las Ciudades. It was demolished in 1996 and until the Coliseum was inaugurated the club played in the stadium Juan de la Cierva, in the Avenida de Juan de Borbón.
Coliseum start redevelopment stadium from 10th June 2025 until 2028.
The stadium was namedColiseum Alfonso Pérez in honour of former Spanish international footballerAlfonso Pérez, who was born and raised inGetafe but only played for the youth side of the club. His name was dropped from the stadium name in 2023 after he made disparaging remarks about female footballers in an interview.[2]
