Mas Monumental Stadium, Football stadium in Nuñez, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The Estadio Monumental stands as Argentina's largest sports venue with a capacity of 84,567 spectators across its concrete and steel structure.
The stadium opened its doors on May 26, 1938, and later became the main venue for Argentina's victory during the 1978 FIFA World Cup.
The stadium functions as River Plate's home ground, representing one of Argentina's most important football institutions with deep social connections.
Located near public transportation routes, the stadium includes parking facilities, food courts, and a 3,500-square-meter sports museum.
The stadium's construction reached completion through funds generated from the transfer of player Enrique Omar Sívori to Juventus in 1957.

This collection gathers the largest stadiums on the planet, ranked by seating capacity. From the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera, India, which hosts major cricket matches, to the vast American university arenas dedicated to football, and the May Day Stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, these sports facilities demonstrate the scale that infrastructures for competitions and mass gatherings can reach. Each stadium has its own identity: some are exclusively dedicated to a specific sport, while others serve as flexible venues capable of hosting various events. Their sizes enable them to accommodate between 100,000 and over 150,000 spectators, providing organizers the opportunity to gather large crowds for international competitions, national finals, or major ceremonies.
