Historical Overview
Estádio das Antas, officially Estádio do Futebol Clube do Porto, was the third and longest-occupied stadium of Portuguese football side FC Porto, in use from 1952 to 2004. Designed by architect Oldemiro Carneiro, the stadium was inaugurated on 28 May 1952 with a capacity of 55,000, replacing the earlier Campo da Constituição, 1.6 km to the west. As well as the stadium, the complex included an indoor arena and three training grounds, with the club's offices split between the inside of the stadium and the Torre das Antas, built in front of the stadium during the 1990s. The stadium was split into six different areas: the Poente and Maratona contained the best seats, while the most financially accessible were located in the Superior Norte, Superior Sul and Arquibancada. The Portugal national football team first played at the stadium in 1952 and held its last game there in 2003, hosting numerous international matches. The stadium was replaced by the Estádio do Dragão, a block southeast away, and was demolished in 2004.
