Real Madrid C.F. (1912–1923)

Campo de O'Donnell was a multi-use stadium in Madrid, Spain. The stadium should not be confused with Campo de O'Donnell (Atletico Madrid), which had same name and was situated 200 meters away on the same boulevard.[1] It was initially a field (campo) in the area of O'Donnell, next to the main boulevard called Calle de O'Donnell.[2] It became the home stadium of Real Madrid C.F. in 1912. The capacity of the stadium was 5,000 spectators. In 1923, Real Madrid C.F. moved on to Campo de Ciudad Lineal, and Campo de O'Donnell was closed.

Campo de O'Donnell hosted four finals: 1908 Copa del Rey Final, 1909 Copa del Rey Final, 1913 FEF Copa del Rey Final, and 1918 Copa del Rey Final.
