Campo vicente del bosque

For a stadium that bears the name of such a giant of the Spanish game, the Estadio Vicente del Bosque is somewhat slight in stature. Situated in the Barrio del Pillar, the stand out feature when entering the enclosure is actually the looming presence of the Cuatro Torres Business Area. The quartet of towers dwarf practically everything in the north of Madrid and stand in stark contrast the low rise simplicity of this football ground. The rest of the capacity is made up of hard standing in front of the main stand.

Those early years were spent at the Polideportivo Isla de Tabarca, before a move to the Campo Vereda de Ganapanes in Unión Adarve first reached the Tercera in season, but this ended in relegation. They returned to the Tercera in and recorded top four finishes on four occasions, the last of which saw them earn promotion to Segunda B via the play-offs. However the shortcomings of the Estadio Vicente del Bosque were apparent. Particularly problematic was the ageing synthetic pitch. Following consultation with the local municipality, the decision was made to upgrade the facilities at the stadium.
