Mas Monumental Stadium, Football stadium in Nuñez, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Mas Monumental Stadium is a football arena in the Núñez neighborhood of Buenos Aires and the largest sports venue in Argentina with a capacity of 84,567 seats. The concrete and steel construction extends across multiple levels with stands that wrap around the entire pitch.
The arena opened on May 26, 1938, and developed into a major setting for Argentine football. It later hosted the 1978 World Cup final, where Argentina claimed the title.
The venue serves as home to River Plate and draws thousands of supporters on match days who express their devotion through songs and banners. The atmosphere reflects the passion of football culture in Buenos Aires, where local rivalries and club loyalty run deep in everyday life.
The grounds sit near bus routes and the metro station, making access relatively simple. Visitors find food options, restrooms and a museum dedicated to the club's history available to explore on site.
The construction was financed through revenue from the sale of player Enrique Omar Sívori to Juventus in 1957. This transfer allowed the completion of the work and made the project financially possible.

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.
