Estádio José Alvalade was built to serve as a playing venue for the Euro 2004 tournament and to provide Sporting with a modern home. It was built right next to Sporting’s old Estádio José Alvalade.

Estadio Jose Alvalade officially opened on 6 August 2003 with a friendly between Sporting and Manchester United (3-1).
