The municipal sports complex south-west of the centre, home of the city's football team (Deportivo Alavés) at the Mendizorroza Stadium and the venue for many of the open-air concerts during the Vitoria Jazz Festival. The complex includes athletics tracks, swimming pools, and tennis courts open to the public.
Deportivo Alavés bounces between Spain's first and second divisions; a match at Mendizorroza is a cheap, friendly way to spend a winter Saturday.
