Estadio Municipal Jorge Silva Valenzuela, Football stadium in San Fernando, Chile
The Estadio Municipal Jorge Silva Valenzuela is a football stadium in San Fernando with a natural grass pitch and an eight-lane synthetic athletics track. It also has three indoor pitches for football and rugby training, each with official dimensions and Olympic-standard fencing, plus artificial lighting.
The stadium bears the name of Jorge Silva Valenzuela, a former San Fernando councilor and Rotary Club president who died in August 1994; the complex was given his full name on 11 September 1994. In November 2009 the mayor Juan Paulo Molina, Curicó Unido president Julio Ode and former Colchagua president Néstor Ruiseñor signed a collaboration protocol: Curicó Unido would carry out works at the ground, which San Fernando made available to them while Estadio La Granja was rebuilt. The first stage covered 160 m of brick wall behind the Galería Oriente, 40 m² of tiling and 100 m² of paint in the dressing rooms, new toilets in the Galerías, upgraded broadcast booths and repairs to the main pitch turf.
The stadium is home to Colchagua CD, which plays regular matches here throughout the season. The venue shapes the local sporting life and draws football fans from the surrounding region.
The stadium has 7,200 seated places but a permitted maximum of 6,000 people, so entry is capped below the seating count. The main pitch is natural grass, and the eight-lane synthetic athletics track hosts Olympic events. Three indoor pitches with official measurements and Olympic fencing serve football and rugby training.
Since 2022 the municipality has hosted the Seven Milagro de los Andes rugby sevens tournament, commemorating 50 years since the 1972 Andes flight disaster. Teams from the Metropolitan, O'Higgins and Maule regions compete, and the event grants places at the Viña del Mar Sevens, Chile's main tournament of the discipline.
