Estadio Fiscal de Linares, Municipal sports stadium in Linares, Chile.
The Estadio Fiscal de Linares is a public multi-use stadium in Linares whose grass pitch hosts the home matches of Deportes Linares. Its grounds were bought in June 1920 from María Marina Toro viuda de Cifuentes, and the site also holds the Piscina Municipal and the Gimnasio Oriente "Nassim Nome Aguilera". A new gateway and an inner pedestrian walkway were added in the 2015-2016 refurbishment.
The land for the ground, called "El Guindal" and "El Manzanal", was bought on 10 June 1920 by the Federación Sportiva de Linares from María Marina Toro; the stadium opened on 18 July 1920 and was enlarged in 1921 with adjoining land. It hosted the final rounds of the 1994 Tercera División, won by the Linares side before about 6,000 spectators per match, and the 2004 title decider, when Ñublense beat Provincial Curicó Unido 2-0 on 28 December. Renamed on 29 June 2016 after coach Tucapel Bustamante Lastra, it also held all matches of the 2022 CONIFA Copa América.
The stadium serves as the home ground for local football club Deportes Linares, drawing fans from across the region on match days. Games here are central to community life and bring together neighbors from different parts of town.
