Landscape of old Olympic site, the centre of attention for the unsuccessful bids of 1999/2003, now overgrown and underused. Estadio Olímpico de Sevilla or Estadio Olímpico de la Cartuja is commonly referred to as simply 'la Cartuja'. It was completed in 1999 for the World Championships in Athletics and seats 57, 619 people. It was the venue for the 2003 UEFA Cup final between Celtic FC and FC Porto. The stadium was one of those included in the Seville bid for the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics. After the failure of the last bid, the stadium remained unused by either of Seville's major football teams as both Real Betis and Sevilla FC each use their own stadia.
