Estadio Benito Villamarín

Estadio Benito Villamarín is a stadium in Seville, Spain, where the Spanish football club Real Betis Sevilla plays all its home matches. The stadium opened on March 17, 1929, and it has a current capacity of 60,720. 

History of Estadio Benito Villamarín

Several architects were hired to design and construct the Estadio Benito Villamarín. The first sketches were already drawn in 1912 and they started building the stadium in 1923. The stadium was finished in 1928, but the inauguration match took place several months later in 1929. The stadium received the name Estadio de la Exposición. The stadium was requisitioned by the Seville city council during the Spanish Civil War. The damaged stadium needed repairment after the Civil War before it could be put to use again. The stadium reopened in 1939. 

The name Estadio Benito Villamarín

The stadium was renovated another time in the fifties. The Estadio Benito Villamarín was expanded and many electrical lights were installed in the stadium. Real Betis Sevilla has been playing at the stadium since 1961. The stadium received the name Estadio Benito Villamarín. Señor Villamarín was the club’s president for ten years. The northern and southern stands were fully demolished to be rebuilt again, and this increased the capacity with 48,500. The stadium was renovated another time before the 1982 World Cup which increased the capacity again with no less than 50,253. The stadium was named after Manuel Ruiz de Lopera in 1997, but due to a vote of Real Betis fans it changed back to Estadio Benito Villamarín.
