Named as a late replacement venue for Bilbao’s San Memes last year, the Stadium La Cartuja became the 11th venue to be involved in staging the Euros. The stadium is located in the city of Seville but neither of the city’s La Liga clubs, Sevilla and Real Betis call it their home.

The La Cartuja stadium was built in 1999 for the World Championships in Athletics. The stadium will be playing host to all 3 of Spain’s Group E games against Sweden, Poland and Slovakia. With a capacity of 60,000 the stadium stands as the third-largest stadium in the country and also has an athletics track on the side of the football pitch. The presence of a track on the side makes it a difficult watch for fans inside the stadium, hampering the atmosphere of the football matches.
