The Nuevo Mirandilla Stadium, formerly known as the Ramón de Carranza Stadium, is the home of Cádiz Club de Fútbol in the city of Cádiz, Spain. Inaugurated on September 3, 1955, the stadium has witnessed numerous renovations throughout its history. Originally, it had a capacity for 15,000 spectators and a running track surrounding the pitch. In 1984, a major renovation was carried out that removed the track and brought the stands closer to the field, increasing its capacity to 23,000 seats.
Between 2003 and 2012, the stadium underwent a complete reconstruction in phases, demolishing and rebuilding each of its stands. After these works, the current capacity of the stadium is 25,033 spectators, making it the 24th largest stadium in Spain and the 5th in Andalusia.
In 2021, the stadium changed its name to "Nuevo Mirandilla" in compliance with the Law of Historical Memory, which aims to eliminate symbols and names related to the Francoist dictatorship. This change has sparked debates in the city, and in November 2024, the City Council of Cádiz announced its intention to revert the name to "Ramón de Carranza", leading to warnings from the Government about the possible breach of the law.
The Nuevo Mirandilla has not only been the setting for Cádiz CF matches, but has also hosted games of the Spanish national team, such as the one played against Malta in November 2019, where Spain won 7-0. Additionally, the stadium offers guided tours that allow fans to explore its facilities and the club's history in depth.
