Parque Abraham Paladino, Football stadium in La Teja, Montevideo, Uruguay
Parque Abraham Paladino is a football stadium in La Teja with four stands and capacity for around 8,000 spectators. The venue uses prefabricated structures and hosts matches for two clubs in Montevideo's football system.
The grounds were granted to Club Atletico Progreso in 1926 under the National Port Administration. A major renovation in 1980 modernized the structure for future use.
The four stands honor local football heritage through names like Champions 1989 and Parcialidad Gaucha, which reflect the team's connection to the neighborhood. Walking through the stadium, you notice how these names mark the different areas where supporters gather.
The stadium is easily accessible from the La Teja neighborhood with multiple entry points from different sides. Arriving early is advisable, especially on match days when capacity can fill quickly.
Inside the stadium stands a memorial wall honoring Nahuel Miranda, a youth player whose story became significant to the neighborhood. This personal tribute shows how the club preserves local memories beyond the sport itself.
