Estadio Francisco de la Hera

Estadio Francisco de la Hera is a football stadium in Almendralejo, Spain. It is the home ground of CF Extremadura and Extremadura UD.CF Extremadura’s first permanent ground was called Campo de Santa Aurora which was on Camino Alange. This was used from 1928 to 1935 when they moved the short distance to Campo Santa Elvira. In 1950, the idea of building a municipal stadium was formed. They moved to a plot of land adjacent to the proposed stadium and for just over one season played at the site called Los Cañizos. On 12 October 1951, CF Extremadura played Sevilla FC in the inaugural match at the new Estadio Francisco de la Hera.The stadium remained relatively unchanged until 1996, when it was demolished and a new stadium was built in the same place. The new Estadio Francisco de la Hera, built in 1996, has a seated capacity of 11,580.
