National Stadium of Peru, National sports stadium in Lima, Peru
The National Stadium of Peru is a multi-purpose sports facility in Lima used for football matches and other athletic events. The venue contains a grass pitch and provides seating for more than 40,000 spectators across several tiers.
The facility opened in 1952 to replace an earlier timber construction from the late 19th century. Between 2009 and 2011, the stadium underwent extensive modernization while preserving its original tower.
The venue hosts matches of the Peruvian national football team and serves as home for sixteen different sports federations, including boxing and volleyball.
The arena sits near Plaza San Martín and can be reached via the Metropolitano bus service. The transport connection links the stadium to different neighborhoods across Lima.
The stadium serves as home to 16 different sports federations and hosts far more disciplines than typical football-only venues. The facility regularly accommodates boxing and volleyball events alongside national team football matches.
