Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa, Football stadium in Quito, Ecuador.
The Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa measures 35,742 seats and rises at an elevation of 2,780 meters above sea level in the capital city.
Architect Oscar Etwanick designed this multipurpose stadium, which opened its doors on November 25, 1951, marking a milestone in Ecuadorian sports infrastructure.
