The Estadi Municipal Palamós Costa Brava is a multi-use stadium located in Palamós, Catalonia, Spain. It is currently used for football matches and is the home stadium of Palamós CF and UE Llagostera.

History

Palamós Costa Brava was inaugurated on 29 August 1989 under the name of Nou Estadi Municipal de Palamós, being the new home stadium of Palamós CF and replacing Camp de Cervantes.[1] Its first match was a 2–1 friendly win against neighbours FC Barcelona on the same day.[2]

The stadium's first competitive match took charge on 10 September, a 1–1 draw against Levante UD for the Segunda División championship.[3] This was the club's most successful period, as it remained in the second level for six consecutive campaigns.

On 7 July 2014 the stadium was named as the new home ground of UE Llagostera for the following five seasons, as the club's stadium, Estadi Municipal de Llagostera, didn't meet the LFP criteria.[4] On 2 August, it was renamed to Estadi Municipal Palamós Costa Brava.[5]
