History
The Estádio Domingos Carrilho Patalino, located in Elvas in the Portalegre district, is the main sports facility in the city and the home of “O Elvas Clube Alentejano de Desportos.” Opened on January 5, 1930, with a capacity of 15,200 spectators, it serves as the primary venue for the region’s leading football club.
The centerpiece of the facility is the “Campo Patalino,” which features a high-quality synthetic pitch certified with a FIFA two-star rating. This field ensures optimal performance for matches and is designed to withstand adverse weather conditions, with approximately 10% of the stadium’s capacity covered to protect spectators from the elements.
The sports complex also includes two additional fields, the Campo Pedro Barrena and the Campo António Semedo, which are essential for the training and development of young football talents. These spaces are dedicated to nurturing emerging players and are crucial for the growth and future of the club.
Since its opening, the stadium has undergone various modernization and restoration interventions to stay up-to-date with modern standards and continue serving the community. The stadium is named after Domingos Carrilho Demétrio, known as “Patalino,” a legendary figure for the club in the 1940s. This tribute reflects Patalino’s importance in the local football history and his lasting impact on the Elvas football community.
Over the years, the Estádio Domingos Carrilho Patalino has hosted numerous matches and events featuring Elvas’s team in exciting and significant contests. The facility is not only a venue for competition but also a symbol of pride for the fans and a vital center for the city’s sports life.

The reborn of Patalino
The future of the “Patalino” Sports Complex will become a new urban hub, radically transforming the architectural landscape and the quality of sports facilities in the city of Elvas, which has long needed top-tier spaces to foster and grow sports practice across the region, while also attracting new athletes.
This development will thus provide cutting-edge conditions for the entire community to nurture young talents (the SAD has embraced the Under-19 team from the start, which returns to national competitions this season), reducing disparities between major urban centers and the coastal areas of the country.
In this context, the SAD of O Elvas plans, in two phases, to renovate the entire area of Campo Domingos Carrilho ‘Patalino’, from the playing field (where the synthetic surface will be replaced with natural grass) to all the facilities supporting professional football (locker rooms, medical station, press room, gyms, amphitheater, laundry room, and other workspaces). New VIP boxes and commercial spaces (merchandising) are also planned.
Aware of the importance and responsibility involved in the challenge of restructuring the traditional ‘Patalino’, the SAD of O Elvas, which has worked tirelessly on this project from the start, aiming to (re)place Elvas on the sports map of the country, counts on the understanding and collaboration of all the citizens of Elvas to bring this ambitious goal for the city to fruition.
