The Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán is a stadium in Seville, Spain. It is the home stadium of Sevilla FC. It was the venue for the 1986 European Cup Final between Steaua Bucharest and Barcelona and the 1982 World Cup Semifinal game between Germany and France.

This stadium contains a singular legend: the Spanish national team has never lost a game when they played against an international team in this stadium. Sevilla FC has lost only once to AZ Alkmaar in the 2006-2007 UEFA Cup Group Stage.

The stadium holds 45,500 and was built in 1957. It replaced Estadio Nervion.

The stadium is nicknamed "La Bombonera" (more commonly used to refer to Estadio Alberto J. Armando, the home stadium of Boca Juniors) or "La Bombonera de Nervión" due to the Nervion neighborhood where the stadium is situated.
