Estadio Federico Schwager, Football stadium in Coronel, Chile.
Estadio Federico Schwager is a football and athletics ground in Coronel, Biobío Region, with a 100 by 70 metre pitch and a capacity of about 2,500 spectators. Its eight-lane IAAF-certified running track, new lighting towers and repainted stands date from the 2019–2021 remodelling, which removed one old stand.
The stadium was built in 1945 by the Lota Coal and Industrial Company and originally held 13,000 spectators. Over the decades, it underwent major renovations that transformed its structure and purpose.
The stadium serves as home to CD Lota Schwager, a team deeply rooted in the local community. The club embodies the connection between sport and the mining-driven identity of this region.
The stadium sits in the urban area of Coronel, not on a hill, and is reached by paved streets. After the 2019–2021 works the ground has an eight-lane IAAF-certified track, floodlight towers and repainted stands, with a maximum of about 2,500 spectators.
