Estadio Municipal de Huanta, Municipal stadium in Huanta, Peru
The Estadio Municipal Manuel Eloy Molina Robles, formerly the Estadio Municipal de Huanta, stands at 2,691 metres above sea level in the city of Huanta, Ayacucho. It holds 7,500 spectators across two grandstands, west and east, and has a running track, changing rooms for players and referees, multi-use courts, a tennis court and a radio and television broadcast booth.
The stadium was built in 1974 and received its current name in 2010 to honor former mayor Manuel Eloy Molina Robles. Major renovations at that time updated and modernized the facility.
The stadium's name honours Manuel Eloy Molina Robles, a former mayor of Huanta, after whom it was renamed during the April 2010 remodelling. It is the alternate home ground of Ayacucho FC, and in the 2018 and 2025 seasons it served as the main venue of the Zorros while the Estadio Ciudad de Cumaná was being renovated.
The stadium is centrally located in Huanta and easy to reach on foot from most areas. Visitors should prepare for the high altitude, which can affect walking and breathing.
In 2007 it was established that in early 1984 the stadium was used as a general headquarters by the Peruvian Navy during the internal armed conflict; hundreds of Huanta residents were tortured, disappeared or extrajudicially executed there.
