World Cup 2006 Stadiums | Euro 2008 Stadiums
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.
