The Campo de Fútbol Municipal Nuevo Urritxe, commonly known as just Urritxe, is a multi-use stadium located in Amorebieta-Etxano, Biscay, Basque Country, Spain. It is currently used for football matches and is the home stadium of SD Amorebieta.

History

[edit | edit source]

Built in 2002 over the plot which was occupied by the old stadium,[1] Urritxe was inaugurated on 12 October of that year, with its first match being a friendly between Athletic Bilbao and Racing de Santander. It contains a roofed stand with a capacity of 500 people, while the remainder of its capacity is distributed for standing places or seats.[1]

In June 2021, after SD Amorebieta's promotion to Segunda División, the club had to search for another home stadium as Urritxe did not comply with the Liga de Fútbol Profesional requirements.[2] The club later reached an agreement with Athletic for the utilisation of the Lezama Facilities[3] (this was repeated in 2023–24).
