Mini Estadi

The home of Barcelona's reserve teams

Opened on 24th September 1982, the Mini Estadi is a ground used by Barça's reserve teams.

On the 23rd September 1982, the Mini Estadi, brainchild of architect Josep Casals and project manager Ramon Domenech, was inaugurated. In just nine months the stadium, with a capacity of 15,276 split in two tiers and with a covered grandstand, was completed. The pitch measures 103 metres by 65 metres.

Next to the 'Mini' (the nickname bestowed on the new ground) there are two training pitches, called pitch 3 and 4, which have artificial turf. This last pitch, of regulation size, is 100 metres by 70 metres and has seating for 1000 spectators.

The Mini Estadi normally hosts FC Barcelona B, FC Barcelona C and FC Barcelona Juvenil A (youth team) matches.

Amongst the highlights of matches played at the Mini Estadi, the Copa del Rey match in the 1983-84 season between a Barça reserve side, known at the time as Barça Atlètic, and the Real Madrid first team stands out. The 0-0 draw turned out to be an historic result as the 1-0 scoreline in the return leg proved to be enough to put the Barça youngsters through. Four years later, in the 1987-88 season the stadium was filled to capacity once more for an under-19 Barça - Real Madrid match.

The Mini Estadi has also hosted Andorra's international fixtures including games against Ireland and Holland. The NFL Europe side, FC Barcelona Dragons were based there in 2002. It is also the customary location for the Clubs Presidential elections.
