The Estádio de São Luís, also known as Santo Stadium, is a multi-use stadium located in Faro, Algarve, Portugal. It serves as the home stadium for Sporting Clube Farense, a football club based in Faro. The stadium was opened in 1923 and has a seating capacity of around 7,000 spectators.
It was continuously used by Farense from 1924, when it became the club's main tenant until 2004 when Farense relocated to the newly built Algarve Stadium. However, since 2013, Farense has returned to playing their home matches at the renovated São Luís Stadium.
Throughout its history, São Luís Stadium has been an important venue for Sporting Clube Farense, witnessing numerous memorable moments for the club. It has also hosted various lower division matches and local football events. While not as prominent as some of Portugal's larger stadiums, São Luís Stadium holds a cherished and historic place in the city of Faro, contributing to the local football culture.
