The Estadio Fernando Torres is a multi-use stadium located in Fuenlabrada, Community of Madrid, Spain. It is currently used for football matches and is the home stadium of CF Fuenlabrada.

History[]

Built in 2011 as an honour to Fernando Torres (who was born in the city of Fuenlabrada),[1] the stadium was inaugurated on 1 September of that year in a friendly against Atlético Madrid, Torres' first club, with his parents as honorary guests.[2] In 2017, the stadium hosted Real Madrid in a Copa del Rey match which ended in a 2–0 victory for Los Blancos.

In June 2019, after CF Fuenlabrada's promotion to Segunda División, the stadium went through some constructions which included an adaptation to meet the LFP criteria.[3]
