Estadio Norberto "Tito" Tomaghello, sports stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Estadio Norberto Tito Tomaghello is a football ground in Gobernador Costa, a town in the Buenos Aires province, serving as the home of Defensa y Justicia. It has concrete stands with individual seats and a lighting system that allows evening matches to be played.
The ground opened in 1978 under the name Estadio General José de San Martín and has been the home of Defensa y Justicia from the start. In 1990, the name changed to honor a former club president who had led the organization for many years.
The stadium takes its name from a former president of Defensa y Justicia who shaped the club over many years. On match days, the stands fill with local families and neighbors, and the game feels like a shared neighborhood event rather than a distant spectacle.
The stadium sits in Gobernador Costa, a small town south of Buenos Aires, and is easiest to reach by car. For big matches, arriving early is a good idea since space around the ground fills up quickly.
The original goalposts, built by Giaccone, have never been replaced and still stand on the field today. They are one of the very few things that have not changed since the ground first opened, while everything around them has been updated.
