Historical background
The stadium is nicknamed "La Bombonera" (; more commonly used to refer to Estadio Alberto J. Armando, the home stadium of Boca Juniors) or "La Bombonera de Nervión" due to the Nervión neighbourhood where the stadium is situated.
The Spain national team has never lost a game against an international team in this stadium.
In May 2018, the club announced an expansion project for the stadium that will eventually increase its seating capacity up to 47,000.
