Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida, Multi-purpose stadium in La Florida, Santiago, Chile
Estadio Bicentenario de La Florida is a football stadium in the La Florida district of Santiago, rebuilt in 2008 by Judson & Olivos Arquitectos in steel, concrete and polyester. Its four stands (Norte, Sur, Andes and Pacífico) hold 12,000 seated spectators, and a tensioned-membrane roof covers 60% of the seating. The Pacífico stand is a four-storey building whose ground floor is left open for circulation.
The stadium was first built in 1986, then underwent complete reconstruction in 2008 to meet FIFA standards. This renovation replaced the original structure with updated infrastructure and modern facilities.
Audax Italiano has held the stadium under a comodato (loan agreement) from the Municipality of La Florida since 2005, and the club plays its home matches here. The ground also hosts large concerts and ceremonies, including the closing ceremony of the 2023 Pan American Games on 5 November.
The stadium stands at Enrique Olivares 1003, near the paradero 19 stop on Vicuña Mackenna and La Florida avenues. Metro Line 4 stations Rojas Magallanes and Trinidad are the closest, and Transantiago routes E14 and E10 reach it directly. The main building in the Pacífico stand keeps its ground floor open for circulation and evacuation.
The stadium hosted the final of the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, held in Chile from 19 November to 7 December 2008. It was one of four venues chosen for the tournament, and the pitch kept from the old ground met FIFA standards for international matches.
