About this venue
Coliseum Alfonso Pérez Stadium is a compact, football-first venue in Getafe, valued for its intimate bowl and clean sightlines from the stands. With a capacity of roughly 16,500 seats, it delivers that “close to the pitch” feeling that makes matchdays—and other crowd-driven events—feel immediate and energetic.
Inside, the experience is practical and modern: straightforward sector signage, strong visibility even from higher rows, and a punchy acoustic that carries chants around the ground. Visitors often mention comfortable seating, a solid food-and-drink offer, and smoother entry when arriving a bit earlier.
You’ll find it at Avenida Teresa de Calcuta, s/n, 28903 Getafe, Spain. To reach the entrances, many fans rely on a short walk from Los Espartales metro, or from the Las Margaritas–Universidad commuter rail stop; drivers can also use parking right by the stadium (spaces are limited, so arriving early helps).

About the city
Getafe, a dynamic city just outside Madrid, stands out as a convenient base for fans of sports, concerts, and major events. Here, urban energy blends with a more relaxed suburban feel, so visitors often get “the best of both worlds” – fast access to the main arenas and stadiums, plus an easier pace for resting before or after the show. That’s why Getafe is increasingly chosen by those who want simple logistics, a strong range of services, and the comfort of being close to the most important venues in the metropolitan area.
When it comes to arrival and getting around, Getafe has a clear advantage: it is extremely well connected to Madrid and the wider region. The backbone of public transport is Metro de Madrid – Line 12 (MetroSur) and the commuter rail network Cercanías Renfe, especially C-4, with practical transfers at key points such as Getafe Central. If you arrive by train at Madrid-Puerta de Atocha–Almudena Grandes or Madrid-Chamartín–Clara Campoamor, continuing toward Getafe and nearby venues is quick and straightforward, and the same goes for travelers landing at Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. This level of connectivity means less stress about traffic and parking and more time for what you came for – a great event.
Beyond the main program, Getafe also offers a “tourist bonus” that fits easily into your itinerary. A stroll through the city center and around Plaza de la Constitución gives you a feel for the local rhythm, while Cerro de los Ángeles is a recognizable lookout and short outdoor escape. If you want to extend the experience, Madrid’s proximity makes it easy to jump to iconic backdrops like Plaza Mayor, Gran Vía, or the riverside promenade in the Madrid Río area. That way, you can combine your event tickets with city sightseeing, without complications and without wasting time in transit.
