Estadi Municipal was opened in October 1977 with the name of Camp Nou,[1] being the new home stadium of CF Reus Deportiu and replacing Calle de Gaudí.[3] Aside from the football stadium, the space also contains a rugby field and a multi-sport field.[4]

On 26 May 2016, the Ajuntament of Reus announced an renovation to the stadium and its surroundings, including an adaptation to meet the LFP criteria.[5]

In June 2018, the stadium hosted matches of the 2018 Mediterranean Games football tournament.

Beginning with the inaugural season of the new European League of Football the Barcelona Dragons played all their home games at the stadium. Furthermore, the management came to an agreement with the municipality Reus to use their stadion for the 2022 and 2023 season.[6]
