The Estadio Anxo Carro,[2] also known as Estadio Ángel Carro,[3] is a stadium located in Lugo, Galicia, Spain. It is currently used for football matches and is the home stadium of CD Lugo.

History

Estadio Anxo Carro, before a match between Lugo and Sporting Gijón.

The stadium was inaugurated on 31 August 1974, with an original capacity of 5,000 spectators. The first match was played between CD Lugo and Club Lemos and the home team won by 1–0. This match was part of a tournament that involved both teams and Deportivo de La Coruña. The stadium is named Ángel Carro as he was the person who ordered its construction.[4]

After the second promotion of CD Lugo to Segunda División and its consolidation in the category, the stadium was expanded with a new stand to 8,168 seats, thanks to an agreement between the club and a local entrepreneur.
