Estadio de Carabineros, Sports stadium in Santiago, Chile

Estadio de Carabineros was a sports complex in central Santiago, built on former Mapocho riverbed land near Avenida Cumming. Designed by architect Luciano Kulczewski, it included football and racing grounds, tennis and basketball courts, a casino, an open-air theatre, and a 50-metre by 25-metre swimming pool about 2 metres deep. Its main entrance had a large door with a bas-relief symbolising athletics.

The sports complex opened on September 22, 1923, under the direction of Santiago Police Prefect Julio Bustamante and a committee of senior police officials. The venue continued operating until its closure in June 1945.

The football pitch hosted the police team Club Atlético Brigada Central, while other clubs from the capital also played there. The ground took the name Carabineros de Chile in 1927, after the force of that name was founded, and the 1923 opening drew President Arturo Alessandri to a social and sporting celebration.

The site lay behind the former Centenario park, near Cumming avenue and the Circunvalación railway tracks, on land that had been the bed of the Mapocho River. The ground was demolished in 1947, so nothing of the stadium survives; look for the street layout rather than ruins.

The stadium's floodlights were switched on for the first time on 4 March 1944, during a double fixture of the Campeonato de Apertura; the installation was designed by Óscar de la Cruz. The ground had opened two decades earlier, in 1923, as the Stadium Policial de Santiago.
