RCDE Stadium History
The stadium is known as Estadi Cornellà-El Prat because it is located within the limits of the municipalities of Cornellà and El Prat. The club hopes to find a buyer for the naming rights to the stadium.
Espanyol defeated Liverpool 3–0 in the stadium’s opening game on 2 August 2009.
Following the death of club captain Daniel Jarque on 8 August 2009, just six days after the opening game, it was proposed to rename the stadium in his honor. However, the club has not taken a definitive position on the matter.
In July 2014, the stadium was renamed Power8 Stadium for sponsorship reasons. Power8 was found to be an investment fraud that deceived hundreds of Asian investors, organized by Bryan Cook and Thomas Yi of London Capital. In January 2016, the club renamed the stadium as RCDE Stadium ending its Power8 sponsorship.
