Where are rugby matches held in Barcelona?

Rugby matches in Barcelona are held mainly at Estadio de la Foixarda, Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys and Campo de Rugby de la Teixonera.

Barcelona has several spaces where rugby has a continuous presence. Estadi de la Foixarda, located in Montjuïc, is one of the nerve centres of Catalan rugby. Teams such as Barça Rugbi and CEU train and compete here, and school, regional and national championships are also held throughout the season. On special occasions, Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys hosts high-level matches, such as international test matches, European tournament finals or promotional events organised by the Spanish Rugby Federation. Its capacity makes it the ideal venue for major dates on the oval-ball calendar. Meanwhile, Campo de la Teixonera, in the Horta-Guinardó district, is the home of the historic Club de Rugby Santboiana for its away matches in the city, and also hosts women's and youth league fixtures. Barcelona continues to promote rugby from grassroots level to international events, with a diverse selection of stadiums keeping the spirit of the oval ball alive.
