Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium

Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium is a football venue in La Plata, Argentina, holding around 21,500 spectators. The stands sit close to the pitch, allowing visitors to see the action clearly and hear the chants of supporters.

Leonardo Tomas Cole designed the grounds, which opened on November 19, 1924, quickly becoming home to the local football club. Over the decades it was modernized while retaining its traditional character.

The venue is often called El Bosque because it sits surrounded by trees and green spaces. Supporters wear blue and white while cheering for their team, creating a lively atmosphere on match days.

The grounds are accessible by public transport, and arriving around two hours before kickoff is recommended. Parking is available nearby but fills quickly on major match days.

Behind-the-scenes tours let visitors see the locker rooms and other areas typically closed to the public. The surrounding park offers quiet walking paths for families before or after matches.
