Velódromo Municipal de Montevideo

Velódromo Municipal de Montevideo, Cycling track in Parque Batlle, Montevideo, Uruguay.

The Velódromo Municipal de Montevideo is an oval track in Parque Batlle whose light gray riding surface is edged by a thin blue line and encloses a flat green field with two tall metal light poles. Tiered red seating runs diagonally along one side, with rows of dark steps below the lower curve, and a curved concrete path with a small circular green island sits outside the top of the oval. The track measures 333 meters.

The track opened in 1938 and gained international importance when it hosted the 1968 World Track Cycling Championships. This event marked a turning point for Uruguay's sporting reputation on the global stage.

The venue's inner field hosts the metropolitan finals of the Organización Nacional de Fútbol Infantil's neighbourhood and departmental leagues. Its 15,000 capacity has made it a Carnival tablado stage and the setting for two editions of the Fiesta de la X, alongside dozens of concerts by national and international musicians.

The oval encloses a grass infield where the Organización Nacional de Fútbol Infantil plays its metropolitan league finals, so the inner field is often in use. A 3,200-square-metre tent installed permanently in 2024 for concerts has drawn complaints from neighbours about late-night music volume.

In 1998, the track received the official name Velódromo Municipal Atilio François to honor a legendary Uruguayan cyclist. François won three national cycling tours and remains an important figure in local sports history.
