<\/p>\n
Club: RCD Mallorca | Opening: 1999 | Capacity: 23,142 seats<\/p>\n
Iberostar Estadio, until 2004 called Son Moix, was built for the 1999 Universiade Games that were held at Palma de Mallorca. The stadium became the new home of Mallorca after the games, replacing the old Estadio Lluis Sitjar that had been home to the club since 1945.<\/p>\n
In 2004, the naming rights of the stadium were sold to telecommunications company ONO, and\u00a0in 2010 once again to\u00a0Iberostar in a new deal.<\/p>\n
Mallorca has never been entirely\u00a0happy at Son Moix with its stands far off the pitch due to the running track. In 2010, Mallorca therefore revealed plans to build a new proper football stadium, which it hoped to occupy in 2016, but due to the club’s limited financial possibilities these were finally shelved.<\/p>\n
Iberostar Estadio is located on the north-western edge of Palma de Mallorca, about three kilometres from the city centre.<\/p>\n
The stadium lies adjacent to the city\u2019s ring road. Take exit 7 and follow the signs for Son Moix.<\/p>\n
If using public transport, the stadium can be reached with bus<\/a> 6 (to Can Valero) or 8 (to Son Roca). Take the bus from Estaci\u00f3 Intermodal (Plaza de Espa\u00f1a) on the north-eastern edge of the city centre. Line 8 has the more frequent service. The journey takes about 20 minutes, get off at Son Moix.<\/p>\n Address: C\/ Cam\u00ed dels Reis S\/N, 07011 Palma de Mallorca<\/p>\n
