History
Summarize
Perspective
The stadium was built at the former ground of the Camp d'Esports del M.I. Consell General. Construction started in 2013 and finished in 2014.[3]
The stadium is the home of the Andorra national football team and the Andorra national rugby union team. The first official match was a 1–2 defeat to Wales valid for the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying Group B, played on 9 September 2014, after the 3G artificial pitch passed UEFA inspection a week before the match.[4]
In August 2015, the National Government and FC Andorra agreed that the club would play in the Estadi Nacional the two first months of the 2015–16 season, until the works in the Camp de la Borda Mateu finish.[5][6]
In July 2021, the Government of Andorra reached an agreement with FC Andorra for playing their matches of Primera División RFEF in this stadium.[7] In July 2025, FC Andorra left this stadium to move to the new Estadi de la FAF, which has a hybrid grass pitch and a larger capacity, to adapt to the requirements of Spanish professional football.[8]
Television gantry fire
On 8 October 2021, one day before Andorra were due to play England in a 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifier, a fire broke out in the stadium's television gantry.[9] There was extensive damage to the metal gantry and the television equipment within, one of the pitchside VAR monitors was destroyed, some of the seating in one of the dugouts melted and part of the artificial turf was scorched.[10] Repairs were made in the following hours, so that the match was able to go ahead at the stadium, in spite of the fire.[11]
