It has been the venue of Casa Pia AC since 2023/24 in its second season in the Primeira Liga. This is due to the fact that the club does not have adequate infrastructure for the football spectacle.[6]
UD Vilafranquense hosted games at this stadium in their debut season in the Segunda Liga in 2019/20, due to inadequate facilities at their own ground.[7]
In 2012/13, it was home to Sporting CP B in its first season, before moving to Alcochete.[8]
