History

Estadi Balear opened on 8 May 1960, with a 2–0 friendly win against Birmingham City.

On 14 June 2013, the stadium was closed by the Town Hall of Palma due to the risk of collapse.[1] Four years and a half later, on 14 December 2017, the renovation works started and the capacity of the stadium would be reduced to 6,000.[2]
