The stadium hosted an international friendly between Spain and Scotland on 4 September 2004. The game was abandoned with half an hour to play as lightning struck out the floodlights shortly after Raúl had made the score 1–1.[3]
On 8 September 2014, the ground hosted Spain's first match of UEFA Euro 2016 qualification, a 5–1 victory over North Macedonia.[4]
The stadium was renovated in 2020, with a new roof, video scoreboards and ambient lighting installed.[5]
In late 2022, Villarreal CF temporarily played at the ground due to works at their Estadio de la Cerámica.[6]
On 26 March 2026, Ukraine played a home World Cup qualification play-off against Sweden at the stadium, due to the war in Ukraine.[7]
