History

XXI) is a football stadium located in the Boavista area of Porto, Portugal; it was the home ground of Boavista Futebol Clube. Like other stadiums used in Euro 2004, the Bessa is a new ground but built on top of the old stands, with each new stand being constructed at different times, which allowed Boavista to continue playing there during the project. The former Campo do Bessa existed on the same place as the new stadium since 1910. It cost €45,409 million to build, of which €7,792,281 was supported from the Portuguese state, and has an all-seater capacity of 28,263.
