Estádio José Alvalade
Estádio José Alvalade is a football stadium in Lisbon and the home of Sporting Clube de Portugal, one of the country's biggest clubs. It is the center of a complex called Alvalade XXI. The stadium was classified by UEFA as a 5-star stadium, enabling it to host finals of major UEFA events. Its official opening was in August 2003 when Sporting Club de Portugal played and beat Manchester United FC 3-1. It also hosted the 2005 UEFA Cup final between Sporting Clube de Portugal and PFC CSKA Moscow, which the Russian club won 3-1. The stadium has underground parking. On the exterior, the stadium features multi-colored tiles. Seats are arranged in a seemingly random color mix to give an illusion that the stadium is always at capacity.
