History

Campo de Altabix was located in the neighborhood of Elche called Altabix, which served as the name of the stadium.[1] On 17 October 1926 the stadium was inaugurated with a friendly game between Elche and Levante that ended with a 2:2 draw. It was the official stadium of Elche CF until 8 September 1976, when the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero was opened.[2] The last match at the Campo de Altabix was played against a Portuguese club C.F. Os Belenenses. It took place on 18 August 1978.[3] On 15 September 1981, the demolition works of the stadium began.[4]
