Estadio Federico Schwager, Football stadium in Coronel, Chile.
Estadio Federico Schwager is a sports facility in Coronel with a natural grass field and a capacity of around 2,500 spectators. The grounds feature an eight-lane athletic track and modernized facilities following comprehensive renovations.
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 grounds fill up quickly on match days and can get very crowded during football games. Visitors should arrive early and wear comfortable shoes, as the stadium is situated on a hill with some walking paths involved.
