El Sadar Stadium History
The inauguration of the El Sadar Stadium took place on September 2, 1967, with a match between Real Zaragoza and Vitoria de Setúbal from Portugal. The stadium replaced the San Juan stadium that was sold the previous year. The stadium had a capacity of 25,000 spectators at its opening with only 7,000 of those seated.
Its opening match was played on September 2 between Zaragoza and the Portuguese Vitoria de Setúbal and ended in a draw at one. The following day, Osasuna defeated Vitoria de Setúbal 3-0 in their first win at the new stadium. Osaba scored Osasuna’s first goal at El Sadar in the 28th minute.
Bon Jovi performed at the stadium during their These Days Tour on June 5, 1996.
In November 2014, Osasuna was forced to sell the stadium to the Government of Navarra (Navarra) due to the club’s great economic crisis, which threatened its existence. The measure was approved in the regional parliament with 31 votes in favor and 18 against.
In the summer of 2015, the stadium’s capacity was reduced from 19,800 to 18,375 due to security-related renovation works.
