Estadio António Coimbra da Mota is a multi-use stadium in Estoril, Portugal. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Primeira Liga side G.D. Estoril Praia.[1] The stadium has a capacity to hold 8000 spectators.[1] The stadium also plays host to Estoril's reserve team home games.[2]

Usage

Football

The Swedish national football team used the stadium as a training ground in preparation for UEFA Euro 2004.[3][4] Following two months after that announcement, the Swedish Football Association visited the stadium to view its facilities and approve its use for its national team to train in during the European Championships.[5] The Swedish side reached the quarter-final stage after being knocked out of the tournament by the Netherlands who defeated them on penalties following a 0-0 draw in normal time.[6]

The stadium has also played host to matches of Portuguese youth team games most notably the Portuguese national under-21 football team, the most recent match being on 9 September 2011 in a Friendly match against the Slovakian national under-21 football team in a 1–1 draw.[7]

On 31 March 2015, the senior Portugal team played at the ground, in a 0–2 friendly defeat against Cape Verde.[8]

Rugby

The stadium has also played host to games involving the Portuguese national rugby union team, most recently being against the Ukraine in a 2006 European Nations Cup First Division match and against Uruguay in a 2007 Rugby World Cup repechage qualification match.
