Estadio GEBA

Estadio GEBA is a multi-purpose facility for sports and music in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The concrete grandstands hold up to 18,000 spectators and host events throughout the year.

The facility opened in October 1902 and served as the main ground for Argentina's national football team matches until 1919. From 1925 onward, the venue became the country's leading rugby union facility and hosted international matches into the 1960s.

From 1925 onwards, the venue developed into Argentina's principal rugby union facility, hosting international matches for the national team until the 1960s.

The venue sits at Marcelino Freyre 3831 in Palermo and is accessible by public transport. Visitors should check the event calendar in advance, as programming varies between sports competitions and music performances.

A fire destroyed parts of the facility in 1916, forcing a closure until 1918 and reshaping the character of the venue. After reopening, the focus gradually shifted from football alone to a broader range of sporting activities.
