The stadium was opened in 1933 as the Campo Municipal de Deporte, but was nicknamed " Docker " due to the military barracks near the venue. On April 17, 1943, the renamed Estadio Alfonso Murube was in honor of a former player's former home team Ceuta Clubsport who fell during the Spanish Civil War in Aranjuez. The stadium, which served as a home for the course of history many teams from Ceuta, was in 1991, after the dissolution of Agrupación Deportiva Ceuta, abandoned and began to deteriorate.
