Estadio George Capwell, Football stadium near Rio Guayas in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Estadio George Capwell is a football stadium near the Rio Guayas in Guayaquil with four steel circulation towers and hundreds of luxury boxes integrated throughout its structure. The venue holds over 40,000 seats and features modern floodlighting for evening matches.
The stadium was built in 1943 and was the first stadium owned by a football club in Ecuador at that time. Though it initially hosted baseball games, it eventually became the home of C.S. Emelec.
The stadium serves as the main gathering place for C.S. Emelec supporters and has shaped the city's sports culture for generations. Game days bring thousands of fans together to cheer for their team.
The facility underwent major renovations between 2015 and 2017 that significantly improved visitor comfort and amenities. It is best to arrive early to find parking and explore the grounds without crowds.
The eastern stands feature a double-tiered system built during the 1999 expansion project, creating a distinctive architectural element. This design allows for higher spectator capacity in that section of the stadium.
