Estadio Insular exemplified Las Palmas’s success

Similar to RCD Mallorca, Estadio Insular was the home to current Spanish 1st division side UD Las Palmas for more than 50 years. It had a modest capacity of 21,000 but it symbolised the most successful period of the club. Late in the 1960s, Las Palmas had their most successful period in top flight finishing 3rd in 1967-68 and going a step further in 1968-69 season all coming at the Estadio Insular.

Gaining promotion to the 1st division in 2015/16 season, it was the first time they played in the top flight since leaving Estadio Insular in 2003.
