Estadio Olímpico Patria

Estadio Olímpico Patria is a multi-purpose sports facility in central Sucre with capacity for around 30,700 spectators. The complex includes a football pitch and an athletic track surrounded by seating areas.

The venue opened in 1992 and gained continental prominence when it hosted several matches during the 1997 Copa América tournament. This international competition established its status as a major football venue.

The stadium serves as home ground for local football clubs Universitario de Sucre and Independiente Petrolero, bringing fans together regularly. These teams are deeply connected to the community and their matches are part of daily life in Sucre.

The central location in Sucre provides convenient access to public transportation and multiple entrance gates help manage crowds during events. Arriving early is recommended, especially when there are large matches scheduled.

The complex sits at an elevation of 2,810 meters (9,219 feet) above sea level, creating distinctive conditions for both athletes and spectators. This high altitude affects physical performance and how matches unfold on the field.
