Malvinas Argentinas Stadium

Malvinas Argentinas Stadium, International football stadium in Mendoza, Argentina.

Malvinas Argentinas Stadium is a football ground in General San Martín Park, Mendoza, built into a natural depression at the foot of Cerro de la Gloria. A dry moat separates the grass pitch from the continuous grandstand of red seats, and a light-grey roof covers the long stand painted with blue and red bands. Capacity is about 42,000, with 50 wheelchair spaces in the covered stand.

Argentina was chosen to host the 1978 World Cup in 1966, and Mendoza was picked as a venue; the stadium was designed by Uruguayan Rafael Viñoly and built from 1976 in a depression beside the Cerro de la Gloria. It opened on 14 May 1978 as Estadio Ciudad de Mendoza with a match between Mendoza and San Rafael, which the southern side won 3-1. It hosted six World Cup matches that year and was renamed Malvinas Argentinas in 1982, after the Falklands War.

The stadium was renamed Estadio Malvinas Argentinas in 1982, after the Falklands War, replacing its original name Estadio Ciudad de Mendoza. The name states Argentina's position in the Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute. The ground stands in the Olla, a natural depression on the slopes of Cerro de la Gloria, inside General San Martín Park.

The stadium sits in a natural hollow at the foot of Cerro de la Gloria, inside General San Martín Park, about 5 km from Mendoza city centre. City buses 113 (Grupo 3) and 74 (Grupo 5) reach it. The covered stand has 50 wheelchair spaces and 100 places for people with other disabilities.

The stadium sits in a natural bowl called La Olla on the lower slopes of Cerro de la Gloria, and a dry moat separates the pitch from the grandstand. Its four main floodlight towers are supplemented by four more on the roof of the covered stand.
