History

The stadium was created as part of the Cidade Universitária de Lisboa, the university campus promoted by the Estado Novo to house (most) faculties of the University of Lisbon. It was built following a plan by architects João Simões and Norberto Correia and was inaugurated on May 7, 1956.[2]

In 1962 the stadium was one of the main stages of the Academic Crisis that would eventually lead to the resignation of the then-Rector of the university (and later Prime Minister of Portugal) Marcello Caetano.
