Estadio Carlos V, Football stadium in Jáuregui, Argentina
Estadio Carlos V is a football stadium in Jáuregui with two grandstands named Pedro de Mendoza and Diego de Luján. The playing field is laid out to professional standards and holds about 5000 spectators divided between north and south sections.
The stadium opened in 1960 after the land had been acquired years earlier by a textile company. It grew from the desire of factory workers to have their own sports club and play football.
The club grew out of workers at the Algodonera Flandria, the textile mill established in Jáuregui in 1928, who played football in their spare time on a pitch in the spinning section. The stands carry the names Pedro de Mendoza (home) and Diego de Luján (away).
The ground has two uncovered terraces, the home end named Pedro de Mendoza and the away end Diego de Luján, plus a covered stand split into north and south halves. Total capacity is about 5000, so match days fill the terraces rather than the seats. The stadium lies in José María Jáuregui, part of Luján, reachable from the city centre by local bus.
The first match at the ground, on 9 July 1960, was a 3-1 loss to Deportivo Español, and a young Carlos Bilardo took part. The land had been bought by Algodonera Flandria S.A. through deed No. 258 of 6 December 1945.
