Estadio Olímpico

Estadio Olímpico, Soccer stadium in Cerro, Montevideo, Uruguay.

The Estadio Olímpico Pedro Arispe is a football ground in the Villa del Cerro, Montevideo, looking out over the bay. It has 6,190 seated places; two lateral sides have no stands, only a wall separating the pitch from the Río de la Plata, so balls often end up in the river. Rampla Juniors plays its Primera Divisional C matches here.

The ground opened on 30 December 1923 as Parque Nelson, named after the English admiral, with its first official match played that day against Charley. After reforms it was reopened on 6 August 1966 with a match between Rampla and Peñarol, and on 24 April 1980 it took the name Estadio Olímpico, suggested by honorary member Captain Tsakos after the legendary mount of Greece. On 29 November 2019 the club assembly renamed it Estadio Olímpico Pedro Arispe, honouring the captain who led Uruguay to Olympic gold at Paris 1924 and Amsterdam 1928 and won the 1927 Uruguayan championship with Rampla.

The stadium's name, adopted in 2019, honours Pedro Arispe, captain of Uruguay's Olympic-winning teams in Paris 1924 and Amsterdam 1928 and of Rampla Juniors' 1927 league title. The club's supporters are known as Picapiedras, a reference to the concrete stands they helped build.

The stadium has seating for 6,190 spectators, and the two lateral sides have no stands: a wall separates the pitch from the Río de la Plata. Access is via the Villa del Cerro neighbourhood, and the ground is used by Rampla Juniors for Primera Divisional C matches.

The stadium is listed seventh among South America's unmissable stadiums by the Brazilian site Impedimento.org, which in 2014 described its view over Montevideo Bay as a folkloric postcard of Uruguayan football. It ranks second in Uruguay, behind the Gran Parque Central.
