Estadio Municipal Nelson Oyarzún Arenas, Municipal stadium in Chillán, Chile.
Estadio Municipal Nelson Oyarzún Arenas is a football stadium in Chillán with covered seating areas and a grass pitch. The venue accommodates around 12,000 spectators for domestic matches and features updated facilities built to meet international competition standards.
The stadium was built in 1961 and underwent a complete renovation in 2008 to meet international standards. This rebuilding work was carried out in preparation for hosting the FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup tournament.
The stadium serves as the home ground for Ñublense football club and carries the name of a former coach who shaped the team's direction. Local supporters gather here to follow their club's matches and celebrate victories throughout the season.
The stadium is accessible for visitors during match days and can be reached via main roads into the city. It is helpful to check ahead for scheduled events and seating arrangements before planning your visit.
The pitch was rotated from north–south to a new orientation during the 2008 rebuild, a change made to satisfy FIFA standards for international competitions, not to improve playing conditions. The old ground was demolished for the project, which cost 11,016,725,458 Chilean pesos and was opened by President Michelle Bachelet on 2 November 2008.
