Real Oviedo required a modern home ground to replace the original Carlos Tartiere stadium, which had been built in 1932 and named after the club's first president, Carlos Tartiere. The aging infrastructure necessitated construction of a new facility capable of accommodating larger crowds and meeting contemporary standards.
The new Estadio Municipal Carlos Tartiere was constructed in Oviedo, Asturias, Spain, opening around the year 2000 with a capacity of 30,500 seats. The multi-use stadium retained the name of the club's founding president and became the home venue of Real Oviedo, replacing the former ground of the same name.
The stadium became the largest sporting venue in Asturias and the 17th-largest in Spain. It hosted three Spain national football team matches, one Spain under-21 fixture, and an Asturian autonomous team game, raising the city's profile as a venue for international and representative-level football.
