Rich NATA Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 All I know is that Spain are playing Norway in Malaga in March, which probably means we can disregard Malaga for our match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stirlish Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 My wife has booked something special for my 60th the night before the match in Glasgow (90 miles away !!!). I will only be able to make it if there are easy flights on matchday. The Canaries would be worst case scenario for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tattiescone69 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Announced the venue as Valladolid for the Georgia game a month after us in November 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich NATA Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 The Spain Cyprus match too... "The Spanish men’s soccer team will play their matches against Cyprus and Georgia in the 2024 Euro Cup qualifying phase at Los Campos de Sport de El Sardinero in Santander and the José Zorrilla Stadium in Valladolid, as confirmed on Tuesday by the president of the RFEF , Luis Rubiales." Malaga, Santander and Valladolid are now off our list then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Record reporting that its most likely Seville based on elimination on what Spanish FA have been saying about games in Andalusia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich NATA Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Just read that, but they've played loads of matches in Seville in the past couple of years. Mildly irritated that they mention the out of town athletics stadium and not the Betis or Sevilla football stadiums 😞 With the Spanish FA having already chosen one stadium in the south (Malaga) and two in the north (Santander and Valladolid) I was expecting somewhere in the east (Valencia) or south-east (Alicante, Elche, Murcia) or the Gran Canaria option of course.

I'm surprised they've not annouced where the Scotland game is being held, given they've announced the venue for the Georgia and Cyprus matches. Perhaps they know it will be held in Seville, but haven't confirmed which stadium it is. I was half expecting Madrid, possibly the Atletico stadium, given they've not played a full capacity game in the city since 2019. Maybe they don't think they could sell ~70k tickets in Madrid for a game against Scotland, but could sell ~60k in Seville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich NATA Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The lack of international matches in Madrid in recent times is very strange; so too the lack of international matches at the new Atletico stadium, which has a UEFA 4 star rating. Re. ticket sales, we could help with that! 10-15 thousand? The vast Plaza del Sol would be quite a sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich NATA Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 In countries without national stadiums, I wonder what their FA's consider when choosing venues. I have no idea of how they go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've played in Cadiz , Granada and Almeria though so it doesn't have to be Seville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have only played North Macedonia and San Marino at these places..minimal away fans. Flights to Seville now getting very expensive!!!!

Rich NATA Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Cadiz looks a cracking ground; wouldn't be good for our allocation, mind. I don't know if the host nation would co-operate on this or not, but is it possible the Spanish FA are delaying the venue announcement at the request of the SFA, whilst the SFA negotiate our friendly match? Better for us to announce both matches at the same time is my thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are 10 dates in total and so far, we have the 8 qualifiers + the England match. So, one more match required and the only gap is in the days after Spain away. Probably the Sunday. Maybe the Monday or Tuesday. Strange that the Spanish have announced the stadium for a match a month after our match, but not announced the stadium for our match.. I just wonder if the SFA have asked the Spanish to wait until the friendly is confirmed; in order to help our fans with our travel arrangements. I mean, we might be needing to get from Spain to Bulgaria (or such like). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
