Stadium
Estádio Municipal de Braga (new) - 30,000 capacity.
The city of Braga is home
to Sporting Clube de Braga and their new US$80.4m home is located
in a spectacular setting - carved out of the granite of Monte Castro.
The unique design - with only two lateral stands with no seating
behind the goals - was created by Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto
de Moura. Steel cables are stretched between the two stands.
Behind one goal is the granite wall of the mountain and behind
the other an open space with a view of the valley beyond. The stadium
was inaugurated 30 December 2003. The stadium received mixed reviews
from coaches at Euro 2004 but seemed to represent a novelty for
the fans.
Getting There
The stadium is located in the city's new Parque Urbano, to the
north of the town center.
