Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado

Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado, Football stadium in Cotocollao, Quito, Ecuador.

Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado is a football stadium in northern Quito with modern facilities and a natural grass playing surface. It accommodates more than 40,000 spectators and features media areas, VIP sections, and multiple entrance points.

Construction began on 1 March 1995 on plans by stadium architect Ricardo Mórtola, funded by a 16 million dollar budget, and finished exactly two years later. The ground opened on 6 March 1997 with a friendly against Atlético Mineiro, won 3-1 by LDU Quito. It was renamed Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado on 12 June 2017 after the club's honorary president, who had pushed for the project.

Fans call the ground La Casa Blanca, and the club's nickname Los Albos refers to the white shirts worn by the team. The stadium's name honours Rodrigo Paz Delgado, the former club president and honorary president who pushed for its construction. The only international trophy celebrated with a lap of honour here was the 2009 Recopa Sudamericana.

The stadium is located in an easily accessible area of Quito served by public transportation. It is recommended to arrive early for major matches to avoid long queues at the entrances.

The stadium sits high in the Andes Mountains, which has been used as a home advantage during qualifying matches. This altitude challenges visiting teams who are not accustomed to playing at such elevation.
