Malvinas Argentinas Stadium, International football stadium in Mendoza, Argentina.
Malvinas Argentinas Stadium is a football venue in Mendoza Province with seating for approximately 40,000 spectators across multiple tiers. The grass field measures 105 by 70 meters and accommodates professional matches for regional clubs.
The stadium opened in 1978 to host FIFA World Cup matches. Six games were played there during the tournament across different rounds.
The stadium bears the name of the Falklands War servicemen since 1982, honoring their memory in the region. This naming reflects a moment of national remembrance that remains visible in everyday conversation about the venue.
The venue offers views of the Andes Mountains from various seating areas around the stadium. Plan time to take in these views and explore the surroundings when attending a match or visiting the grounds.
Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly designed this facility with architectural elements that frame the Andes in the background. Few visitors realize that the seating layout was intentionally positioned to create these mountain views.
