Avilés Stadium Club de Fútbol is a Spanish football club based in Avilés, Asturias. Founded in 2015, it plays in Tercera Federación – Group 2, holding home games at Estadio Muro de Zaro, with a capacity of 4,000 people.

History

Avilés Stadium was founded in 2015 by a group of supporters worried about the situation of Real Avilés, owned by unpopular José María Tejero.[1] The club has the intention to be run democratically by its members.[2]

On 15 August 2015, the club played its first friendly match, a 3–2 win against Club Hispano at Piedras Blancas, Castrillón, after being losing by 0–2 in the first half.[3] On 13 September 2015, Avilés Stadium played its first official game at Campo de Santo Domingo in the parish of Miranda, its field for the first season. It defeated San Juan La Carisa by 2–0.

On 12 April 2018, Avilés Stadium announced it would merge with local farm team Avilés Deportivo, with the aim of developing its own cantera.[4]

In 2020, despite the league being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Avilés Stadium was promoted to Tercera División as the second qualified of the Regional Preferente at the moment of the suspension.[5]
