\"Al-Shaab<\/p>\n

While it is not uncommon for shiny new stadiums to get built in places where you would not expect them, there is something even more special going on in Iraq right now: an actual stadium boom.<\/p>\n

The Arab country, still recovering from the war, has decided to put some of its oil money in a massive overhaul of its stadiums, resulting in a total of seven new stadiums under construction right now and many more planned. We will therefore take you on a journey through the country to see what is going on.<\/p>\n

We start our trip in the southern city of Basra, Iraq’s second largest city with an estimated population of about two million inhabitants.<\/p>\n

Over there, a massive new sports complex, Basra Sports City, is on the brink of being completed. The centerpiece is a stadium with a capacity of 65,000 seats, which is complemented with a small stadium with about 10,000 places, training facilities, and a few luxury hotels.<\/p>\n

The complex was meant to serve as the venue for the 2013 Gulf Cup of Nations, but it was later decided to give Iraq a little more time to prepare. As a result the tournament was moved to Bahrein, and Basra gets to host the next version.<\/p>\n

The project has come at the significant cost of $500 million, all financed by Iraqi’s Ministry of Youth and Sports.<\/p>\n

\"Basra<\/p>\n

The complex was scheduled to be completed right now in March 2013, but it will probably take a few more months for the last details to be finished.<\/p>\n

This is what the almost-completed stadium looks like:<\/p>\n

\"Basra<\/p>\n

And the smaller stadium next door has already been completed:<\/p>\n

\"Basra These two stadiums, however, are not the only new stadiums that are getting built in Basra at the moment. There is one more: a 30,000 all-seater for Iraqi Premier League club Alminaa SC.<\/p>\n

Construction of this new stadium started in 2012 and is expected to come at a cost of just under US$ 100 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

The new Al Minaa Stadium is scheduled to get completed in the end of 2013. It looked like this in the middle of 2012:<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

Up north, but still south of Baghdad, there are a few more stadiums that are in a similar stage of construction. First of all, there is the Holy Al Najaf Stadium<\/a> in the city of Najaf.<\/p>\n

Holy Al Najaf Stadium is another stadium with a planned capacity of 30,000 seats, has a similar price tag as Al Minaa Stadium, and has been designed by the same architecture firm that also designed both stadiums in Basra: 360 Architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whereas both Basra stadiums are equipped with a running track, a feature still very common in new stadiums in developing countries, Najaf’s new stadium will come without one.<\/p>\n

In fact, the stadium had originally been planned to also hold a track, but after criticism following both Basra stadiums it was decided to go for a version without track.<\/p>\n

\"Holy<\/p>\n

The exterior of the stadium is of particular beauty, and is inspired by the city’s famous Im\u0101m Al\u012b Mosque.<\/p>\n

\"Holy<\/p>\n

The stadium is expected to be completed early 2014, and will serve as the home of Premier League club Najaf FC.<\/p>\n

Then there is a new stadium in the city of Karbala, again with a capacity of about 30,000, and again without running track, though it is not exactly clear whether the below rendering has been replaced by a more current one in the meantime.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

Construction is well under way and expected to be completed in 2014. Karbala has a Premier League team as well.<\/p>\n

Not far from Karbala lies the province of Babil, home to what is left of the ancient city of Babylon and the largest city Hillah. Here, works have just started on a new stadium that will get built with the help of Spanish architects and contractors.<\/p>\n

This new 30,000 all-seater is going to look like this:<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

One thing all these stadiums have in common that they look like stadiums that could have gotten built in Europe. Instead of going the Chinese way<\/a> and built an uncovered oval stadium with running track, the Iraqi stadiums are almost all completely covered and various come without athletics track.<\/p>\n

We continue our journey to Baghdad as it would not be a proper stadium boom without the capital participating.<\/p>\n

Over there, works have just started on a new stadium in the Al Sadr area of the city. Again, capacity will be around 30,000, and again, the design seems to tick all boxes of what a modern stadium needs.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

If all well, Al Sadr Stadium should be completed by 2015.<\/p>\n

There are various more stadiums planned at the moment: another 30,000-seater in the Russafa area of Baghdad; a few other smaller ones in and around the city; four 30,000-seaters in Nasiriyah, Al Anbar, Diwaniyah, and Diyali; and a 20,000-seater in Al Kut. There are furthermore more tentative plans for new stadiums in the north of Iraq in the cities of Mosul and Erbil.<\/p>\n

\"Diyali<\/p>\n

\"Proposed<\/p>\n

Iraq’s stadium boom goes further than just the top though as there is also much development on a local level, where new facilities are getting built, often with artificial pitches.<\/p>\n

But the big flagship project has to become Baghdad’s Al Tajeeat Olympic Stadium. This project goes back a while, but now finally seems to gain traction.<\/p>\n

First plans were made when normality returned to the country in 2009. On year later, in 2010, plans were presented for a stadium with a capacity of 100,000 spectators and a design competition was announced.<\/p>\n

Then the Ministry of Sport decided to build three stadiums instead of one in Baghdad (we have mentioned the other two already), which meant that the proposed capacity of the Olympic Stadium was scaled back to about 60,000 seats.<\/p>\n

The exact status of the project is not known at the moment, nor is the final design that has been chosen. Some preliminary works have been performed on the site though, which means that there might be something in the air.<\/p>\n

This is one of the proposals that have made the rounds:<\/p>\n

\"Al<\/p>\n

What all these projects have in common, big and small, is that they are financed by the Iraqi Ministry of Youth and Sport, which means with public money.<\/p>\n

This leads to the automatic question whether this, right now, is an investment the country should be making. After all, aren’t there worthier causes than building new sports stadiums for a country that just suffered a war?<\/p>\n

Probably yes, though one has to bear in mind that Iraq hardly has any decent sports infrastructure at the moment. Stadiums are small, basic, and often crumbling, which includes the present Al-Shaab national stadium (see photo at the top).<\/p>\n

\u00a0The current upgrade will turn the stadium infrastructure of Iraq into one of the best of the Middle East, which will increase the attractiveness of the domestic league and make it a prime candidate to host more future international tournaments. The inherent potential the country has can therefore finally get fulfilled.<\/p>\n

It also says something about the effectiveness of the Ministry of Youth and Sport, at least in this area, who have managed to simultaneously get this many large projects up and running. It has not only been words, but stadiums are actually getting built (with the caveat that they still have to get completed).<\/p>\n

That said, whether this is worth an investment that is going to approach US$ 2 billion is another question, one that can only get answered in a decade or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

1892 | Capacity: 40,157 seats<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"history-and-description\">History and description<\/h3>\n<p>Goodison Park officially opened on 24 August 1892 with an athletics event. The first match, between Everton and Bolton (4-2), was played 9 days later. Everton had previously played at <a title=\"Anfield\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/anfield\/\">Anfield<\/a>, but a dispute over the rent drove them out.<\/p>\n<p>Goodison Park initially consisted of one covered seating stand, two uncovered terraces, and a running track. In 1894, it hosted its first FA Cup final. Notts County beat Bolton in front of a 37,000 crowd.<\/p>\n<p>The stadium got quickly developed in the early 20th century, first with the construction of a double-decker stand at the Park End in 1907, and next with the large Goodison Road Stand in 1909. The running track was also removed.<\/p>\n<p>The new double-decker Goodison Road Stand had been designed by renowned architect Archibald Leitch. At that time, Goodison Park was considered the best ground in Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Archibald Leitch also designed the next two new stands of the ground. The first was the new Bullens Road Stand in 1926 and the second the new Gwladys Street End in 1938. All stands were two-tiered.<\/p>\n<p>On the 18th of December 1948, Goodison Park recorded its highest attendance in a match between Everton and Liverpool. A total of 78,299 supporters visited the match.<\/p>\n<p>Goodison Park was one of the playing venues of the 1966 World Cup, during which it hosted three group matches, the quarter-final between Portugal and North Korea (5-3), and the semi-final between Germany and the Soviet Union (2-1).<\/p>\n<p>The stadium remained largely unchanged until in 1971 a new three-tiered main stand was built in place of the Goodison Road Stand. At that time the stadium could hold about 55,000 fans, slightly less than half seated.<\/p>\n<p>In the 1990s, following the <a title=\"Stadium disasters\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/timelines\/stadium-disasters\/\">Hillsborough disaster<\/a> and Taylor report, Goodison Park got converted into an all-seater stadium, which reduced capacity significantly. In 1994, the last major development took place when a new stand got built at the Park End.<\/p>\n<p>In the last fifteen years, Everton have been actively pursuing a move to a new stadium, first at King’s Dock and later in the Kirkby area, but both times plans fell through. After a break during which efforts were paused, the club picked up their pursuit for a new stadium again deciding on a site at Liverpool’s waterfront north of the centre.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the club submitted planning permission for a new 52,888 all-seater. They to move into the new stadium, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/bramley-moore-dock-stadium\/\">Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium<\/a>, at the start of the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-129246aa5a05692a8081f9816b3d05e0-1\">\n\n \t\t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" >\n\t\t\t\t <div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/goodisonpast1.jpg\"\n title=\"Goodison Park in 1905.\"\n data-src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/goodisonpast1.jpg\"\n data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/thumbs\/thumbs_goodisonpast1.jpg\"\n data-image-id=\"1742\"\n data-title=\"Goodison Park\"\n data-description=\"Goodison Park in 1905.\"\n class='thickbox' rel='129246aa5a05692a8081f9816b3d05e0'>\n <img\n title=\"Goodison Park\"\n alt=\"Goodison Park\"\n src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/thumbs\/thumbs_goodisonpast1.jpg\"\n width=\"104\"\n height=\"78\"\n style=\"max-width:none;\"\n \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-1\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" >\n\t\t\t\t <div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/goodisonpast2.jpg\"\n title=\"Goodison Park in 1928. | Via <a href="http:\/\/www.britainfromabove.org.uk\/">Britainfromabove.org.uk<\/a>.\"\n data-src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/goodisonpast2.jpg\"\n data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/thumbs\/thumbs_goodisonpast2.jpg\"\n data-image-id=\"1743\"\n data-title=\"Goodison Park\"\n data-description=\"Goodison Park in 1928. | Via <a href="http:\/\/www.britainfromabove.org.uk\/">Britainfromabove.org.uk<\/a>.\"\n class='thickbox' rel='129246aa5a05692a8081f9816b3d05e0'>\n <img\n title=\"Goodison Park\"\n alt=\"Goodison Park\"\n src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/thumbs\/thumbs_goodisonpast2.jpg\"\n width=\"104\"\n height=\"78\"\n style=\"max-width:none;\"\n \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-2\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" >\n\t\t\t\t <div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/goodisonpast3.jpg\"\n title=\"Goodison Park circa 1966. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n data-src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/goodisonpast3.jpg\"\n data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/thumbs\/thumbs_goodisonpast3.jpg\"\n data-image-id=\"1744\"\n data-title=\"Goodison Park\"\n data-description=\"Goodison Park circa 1966. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n class='thickbox' rel='129246aa5a05692a8081f9816b3d05e0'>\n <img\n title=\"Goodison Park\"\n alt=\"Goodison Park\"\n src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/thumbs\/thumbs_goodisonpast3.jpg\"\n width=\"104\"\n height=\"78\"\n style=\"max-width:none;\"\n \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-3\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" >\n\t\t\t\t <div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/goodisonpast4.jpg\"\n title=\"Goodison Park in 1966. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n data-src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/goodisonpast4.jpg\"\n data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/thumbs\/thumbs_goodisonpast4.jpg\"\n data-image-id=\"1745\"\n data-title=\"Goodison Park\"\n data-description=\"Goodison Park in 1966. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n class='thickbox' rel='129246aa5a05692a8081f9816b3d05e0'>\n <img\n title=\"Goodison Park\"\n alt=\"Goodison Park\"\n src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/goodisonpast\/thumbs\/thumbs_goodisonpast4.jpg\"\n width=\"104\"\n height=\"78\"\n style=\"max-width:none;\"\n \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p>(photos of the present Goodison Park below)<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-to-get-to-goodison-park\">How to get to Goodison Park<\/h3>\n<p title=\"Anfield\">Goodison Park is located about 2.5 miles north-east of Liverpool\u2019s city centre and Lime Street railway station.<\/p>\n<p>If arriving by car from the M57 (which runs east of Liverpool), take junction 4 and turn onto East Lancashire Road (A580) in the direction of the city.

Espanyol first moved to Barcelona’s Olympic Stadium, Estadio Ol\u00edmpico Llu\u00eds Companys, but always preferred a proper own home.<\/p>\n<p>Espanyol presented concrete plans for the new stadium in 2002, a first stone was laid in 2003, and construction began late 2005.

It is the last stop on line 5 which passes just north of Barcelona\u2019s historic centre, and also stops near the Sagrada Familia.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tram.cat\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tram<\/a> 1 and 2 stop at a similar distance from the stadium. They may be useful if coming from the area around <a title=\"Camp Nou\" href=\"http:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/noucamp\/\">Camp Nou<\/a> (Avenida Diagonal). Get off at stop Cornell\u00e0 Centre or Les A\u00efgues.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fgc.cat\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ferrocarrils<\/a> de la Generalitat, a type of commuter trains, can bring you somewhat closer to the stadium. Station Cornell\u00e1 Riera is just a 5-minute walk away from the stadium. Multiple trains, for example the L8, leave from Plaza Espa\u00f1a, about 2 kilometres west from the historic centre.<\/p>\n<p>RCDE\u00a0Stadium lies near a crossroads of motorways. If coming from the A-2\/B-10 east, exit at L\u2019Hospitatelet\/Cornella, which will bring you almost straight to the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>If coming from the Ronda da Dalt, first get on the E-90\/A-2, and then take the exit for L\u2019Hospitatelet\/Cornella.<\/p>\n<p>If coming from the A-2 west, take exit\u00a0 607 toward Cornell\u00e0 de Llobregat.

While you will likely find a place to eat in the centre of Cornell\u00e0, a 10-minute walk north of the stadium, it may make more sense to stick to the city centre.<\/p>\n<p>The same is true if it comes to hotels.

M\u00e1laga, then still called Malacitano, beat guests Ferroviaria 6-0. The match had been put forward due to the destruction of the pitch of Malacitano\u2019s old ground by a thunderstorm.<\/p>\n<p>Estadio La Rosaleda officially opened on 14 September of the same year with a match between M\u00e1laga and Sevilla. The stadium back then counted with a capacity of about 8,000 places.<\/p>\n<p>In the following years, La Rosaleda got gradually expanded, and the construction of a new two-tiered east stand in 1965 resulted in a capacity of about 22,000.<\/p>\n<p>Estadio La Rosaleda was selected as one of the playing venues for the 1982 World Cup, and therefore needed further expansions. Second tiers were erected on the remaining single-tiered stands, the pitch was lowered to create extra rows of seating, and the rest of the stadium got extensively refurbished.<\/p>\n<p>During the World Cup, La Rosaleda hosted three first round group matches. Capacity at that time was about 37,000.<\/p>\n<p>The stadium remained practically unchanged for the next 20 years, until in 2000 a major redevelopment program was started. Over a period of six years, La Rosaleda got gradually rebuilt and renovated, resulting in more cover, increased hospitality facilities, and better comfort, but also a reduction in capacity to under 30,000.<\/p>\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-ea72fd7bc0503884b2292f5ca9b5abea-1\">\n\n \t\t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" >\n\t\t\t\t <div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/rosaledapast1.jpg\"\n title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda in the early 1960s. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n data-src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/rosaledapast1.jpg\"\n data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/thumbs\/thumbs_rosaledapast1.jpg\"\n data-image-id=\"1843\"\n data-title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n data-description=\"Estadio La Rosaleda in the early 1960s. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n class='thickbox' rel='ea72fd7bc0503884b2292f5ca9b5abea'>\n <img\n title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n alt=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/thumbs\/thumbs_rosaledapast1.jpg\"\n width=\"104\"\n height=\"78\"\n style=\"max-width:none;\"\n \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-1\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" >\n\t\t\t\t <div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/rosaledapast2.jpg\"\n title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda in the 1980s. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n data-src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/rosaledapast2.jpg\"\n data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/thumbs\/thumbs_rosaledapast2.jpg\"\n data-image-id=\"1844\"\n data-title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n data-description=\"Estadio La Rosaleda in the 1980s. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n class='thickbox' rel='ea72fd7bc0503884b2292f5ca9b5abea'>\n <img\n title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n alt=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/thumbs\/thumbs_rosaledapast2.jpg\"\n width=\"104\"\n height=\"78\"\n style=\"max-width:none;\"\n \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-2\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\" >\n\t\t\t\t <div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\">\n <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/rosaledapast3.jpg\"\n title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda in the 1980s. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n data-src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/rosaledapast3.jpg\"\n data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/thumbs\/thumbs_rosaledapast3.jpg\"\n data-image-id=\"1845\"\n data-title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n data-description=\"Estadio La Rosaleda in the 1980s. | \u00a9 Unknown.\"\n class='thickbox' rel='ea72fd7bc0503884b2292f5ca9b5abea'>\n <img\n title=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n alt=\"Estadio La Rosaleda\"\n src=\"https:\/\/www.stadiumguide.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/rosaledapast\/thumbs\/thumbs_rosaledapast3.jpg\"\n width=\"104\"\n height=\"78\"\n style=\"max-width:none;\"\n \/>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p>(photos of the present Estadio La Rosaleda below)<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"how-to-get-to-la-rosaleda\">How to get\u00a0to La Rosaleda<\/h3>\n<p>Estadio La Rosaleda is located in the north of Malaga at less than 2 kilometres from Malaga\u2019s cathedral in the historic city centre. The walk to the stadium can be made in 20 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Malaga\u2019s main railway station lies about 1 kilometre further away. There is no direct bus from the railway station to the stadium, but a 10-minute walk brings you to the centre from where there are various options.<\/p>\n<p>Most <a href=\"http:\/\/www.emtmalaga.es\/\" target=\"_blank\">buses<\/a> depart from the Alameda Principal. If you take bus 17 (to La Palma), get off at stop Avda. Dr. Mara\u00f1\u00f3n. If bus 26 (to Alegr\u00eda de la Huerta), get off at stop Rosario Pino. And if bus 2 (to Ciudad Jard\u00edn), get off at Jorge Silvela. In all cases the ride will take less than 10 minutes, which will be followed by a few minutes walking.<\/p>\n<p>Address: Paseo de Martiricos s\/n, 29011 M\u00e1laga<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d6396.130439499595!2d-4.431028826687573!3d36.7335838791476!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0xd72f7b04fcb2363%3A0x69f9e825cde5bd60!2sLa+Rosaleda+Stadium!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1491656759486\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"eat-drink-and-sleep-near-la-rosaleda\">Eat, drink, and sleep near La Rosaleda<\/h3>\n<p>Estadio La Rosaleda is located in a rather quiet area that is a mix of residential buildings, offices, and some retail activity.
