It has a capacity of 32,490, making it the largest stadium in Galicia. It holds the record for the most-attended match in the third tier with 29,079 spectators. The stadium hosted matches at the 1982 FIFA World Cup and was intended to be one of the venues for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, but the bid was later withdrawn after encountering organizational and administrative difficulties. It has also hosted international friendlies and qualifying matches of the Spain national football team.
