Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario, football stadium in San Juan, Argentina
Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario is a sports venue in San Juan, Argentina, primarily used for soccer matches and sporting events. The facility has four stands surrounding the field with clear views from all seating areas and can accommodate over 25,000 spectators.
The stadium opened in March 2011 with a match between Argentina and Venezuela, and has since hosted national and international sporting competitions. It was named to commemorate Argentina's bicentennial anniversary of independence.
The name marks the bicentennial of the May Revolution of 1810, though the stadium opened a year after the 2010 anniversary. It hosts the home matches of San Martín and Sportivo Desamparados, and in 2012 it staged the relaunched Copa Argentina final, where Boca Juniors beat Racing 2–1.
The stadium sits on Ruta Nacional 40, between calles 6 and 7, next to the Provincial Velodrome in Pocito, south of Greater San Juan. Four 55-metre lighting towers installed in November 2021 raised the floodlighting to 2,400 lux, meeting FIFA and Conmebol standards for international night matches.
