About

The Estadio António Coimbra da Mota is a multi-use stadium in Estoril, Portugal. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Primeira Liga side G.D. Estoril Praia. The stadium has a capacity of 8,000. The stadium also plays host to Estoril's reserve team home games. The stadium currently has a capacity of only 5,094 seats, as the top north stand is closed to the public due to structural faults in its foundations.

The Swedish national football team used the stadium as a training ground in preparation for UEFA Euro 2004.

The stadium has also played host to matches of Portuguese youth team games most notably the Portugal national under-21 football team, the most recent match being on 9 September 2011 in a Friendly match against the Slovakia national under-21 football team in a 1–1 draw.

On 31 March 2015, the senior Portugal team played at the ground, in a 0–2 friendly defeat against Cape Verde.

On 15 January 2018 a crack appeared in the away stand during a match versus Porto, forcing its evacuation and abandonment of the game at half time.

On 8 November 2018, the stadium hosted an international friendly between the United States and Portugal women's national teams.

The stadium has also played host to games involving the Portuguese national rugby union team, most recently being against Ukraine in a 2006 European Nations Cup First Division match and against Uruguay in a 2007 Rugby World Cup repechage qualification match.
