Estadio La Espiguera

Estadio La Espiguera stands as a modest municipal facility in Melilla, Spain. The ground is managed by the City Council of Melilla, specifically under the Department of Education, Youth and Sports. Unlike the larger Estadio Municipal Álvarez Claro, which serves as the main venue for the city, La Espiguera is distinct from the main municipal venue and is often used for lower-tier matches or when the primary stadium is unavailable.

The playing surface is artificial turf, a detail noted by various sports databases and local reports. The stadium is situated at Avenida Donantes de Sangre, 36, with access points also described on Calle Cadete Pérez Pérez. The official capacity is listed as 2,000 spectators, a figure consistently reported by sources such as Wikipedia, Fichajes.com, and FussballTransfers.

The venue serves as the home ground for Atlético Melilla CF, which competes in the Primera Autonómica de Melilla. It was also previously used by CD Huracán Melilla, a club founded in 2020 and dissolved in 2023. Regarding its history, the exact opening year is not found in official city council records, local news archives, or reliable football databases. A claim of inauguration in 1950 by one source is considered unreliable and contradicts the facility's profile as a modern 'Campo Federativo' (federation field). No former official or sponsored names were found; the venue is consistently referred to as Estadio La Espiguera or Campo Federativo La Espiguera. There is no official standalone website for the stadium; information is hosted on the City Council's portal (melilla.es).
