Following the COVID-19 pandemic and to facilitate the ongoing renovations of the Santiago Bernabéu, Real Madrid's senior team contested the rest of their home matches of the 2019–20 season at the Alfredo di Stéfano behind closed doors, starting on 14 June 2020 in a 3–1 league win against Eibar. On 6 September 2020; still behind closed doors, the ground hosted the Spanish national team for the first time; that game would result in a 4–0 UEFA Nations League win for the Spanish against Ukraine.
