Plaza Jewell, Sports stadium in Rosario, Argentina
Plaza Jewell is a sports complex in Rosario featuring multiple fields for rugby, hockey, and other sports activities. The facility sits near Mariano Moreno bus station and serves as a training and competition venue for various clubs and age groups.
The grounds were established in 1889 when Charles and Edward Jewell donated the land for this sports complex. It represents one of Argentina's early dedicated sporting facilities from that era.
The complex belongs to Club Atlético del Rosario, founded in 1867 by railway workers as a cricket club and remains a gathering place for the local sports community today.
The complex is easy to access and offers regular training and match schedules throughout the week for different sports. Visitors should check ahead about specific events and activities, as the venue operates according to the schedules of its resident clubs.
In 1905 the grounds hosted a friendly match between a Rosario selection team and Nottingham Forest, with the English side winning 5-3. This game reflects the early international football connections between Argentina and Europe during that period.
