Estadi Ciutat de València (Valencian: ; Spanish: Estadio Ciudad de Valencia ; English: City of Valencia Stadium) is a football stadium in Valencia and is the home ground of Levante UD. Built in 1969 and holding up to 26,354 spectators, it is the 23rd-largest stadium in Spain and the 4th-largest in the Valencian Community. The stadium hosted an international friendly between Spain and Scotland on 4 September 2004. The game was abandoned with half an hour to play as lightning struck out the floodlights shortly after Raúl had made the score 1–1. On 8 September 2014, the ground hosted Spain's first match of UEFA Euro 2016 qualification, a 5–1 victory over North Macedonia. The stadium was renovated in 2020, with a new roof, video scoreboards and ambient lighting installed. In late 2022, Villarreal CF temporarily played at the ground due to works at their Estadio de la Cerámica.
