Estadio Municipal Carlos Tartiere, generally referred to as Nuevo Carlos Tartiere (English: New Carlos Tartiere), is a multi-use stadium in Oviedo, Spain. It holds 30,500 spectators and replaced the former stadium of the same name, built in 1932.
History
The first match played in this stadium took place on September 17, 2000, a Primera División match between Real Oviedo and Las Palmas. The stadium was officially opened on September 20, 2000, with a friendly match between Real Oviedo and FK Partizan Beograd.
It is currently used mostly for football matches by Real Oviedo.
The new stadium has been severally criticized, especially its location, which does not have adequate accesses and emergency exits for large attendances. Also the pitch is hard to maintain, due to its moist environment and the lack of sunlight, especially during the winter. Despite these facts, Emilio Llano, one of the architects of the stadium, has defended the stadium and claimed that "the problem could be in the grass and not in the subsoil".[2]
The first sold-out match was on 28 October 2001, in the first Asturian derby in the new stadium. Sporting de Gijón won that game by 0–2.
On 24 May 2009, Real Oviedo beat the attendance record in a Tercera División game with 27,214 spectators. It was in the first leg of the 2009 Group Winners play-off against RCD Mallorca B, and the blues won by 1–0.[3]
International matches
The first international game was held on 23 December 2000, when the autonomous team Asturias played a friendly game against Macedonia. 25,000 people assisted to the game, which finished 1–0 with a goal of Juanele.
Spain played twice in the new Carlos Tartiere. The first one, on 6 June 2001, against Bosnia and Herzegovina in a game which finished 4–1 for The red one and the second, on 12 September 2007, against Latvia, finishing with a 2–0 win.
In 2011, the Spain national under-21 football team played an official game against Poland. Spain won 2–0.
On 5 September 2015 at UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying, Spain won against Slovakia with 2-0.
