Estadio Mundialista de Hockey, Field hockey stadium in Rosario, Argentina.
The Estadio Mundialista de Hockey is a field hockey facility in Rosario featuring a synthetic grass field measuring 91.4 by 55 meters with seating for about 6200 spectators. The venue also includes training areas, medical facilities, and spaces for educational programs.
The venue opened in March 2010 to host the Women's Hockey World Cup, the first time this championship took place in Argentina. This event marked an important moment for the recognition of the sport in the country.
The facility is named after Luciana Aymar, an Argentine field hockey player who won multiple Olympic and world championship medals. Her name honors her achievements and her role in advancing the sport nationally.
The stadium sits in the north of Rosario, in the Parque Independencia area, and is reached by public transport along Avenida General Urquiza. Seating depends on the event: a permanent grandstand of 1,400 seats on one side, supplemented by mobile grandstands that raise capacity to 6,200 or, for major tournaments, 12,000.
The stadium's name honours Luciana Aymar, captain of Argentina's national team and a Rosario native; the change was confirmed by municipal authorities in 2015, before the final of the 2014–15 FIH Hockey World League, with the unveiling of a plaque. The site also holds a school, a Centro Crecer and a health centre within a 20,000 m² community complex.
