Estadio Norberto "Tito" Tomaghello, Football stadium in Gobernador Costa, Florencio Varela Partido, 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 ground was closed for safety reasons after wooden stands broke during a 2016 match against River Plate, causing three Defensa y Justicia supporters to fall. The club then contracted a full renovation of the Humahuaca street sector, built from 2 metres up with 22 steps across 80 metres and two side ramp entrances, inaugurated on 26 August 2017 in a 4-4 draw with Gimnasia La Plata.
