Estadio Olímpico Patria, Multi-purpose stadium in Sucre, Bolivia.
Estadio Olímpico Patria stands on Avenida Jaime Mendoza, between Adolfo Vilar and Sebastián García streets, in Sucre, at 2,814 metres above sea level. The 30,700-seat ground has four stands — Preferencia, General, Curva Norte and Curva Sur — around a football pitch and an eight-lane tartan athletics track.
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 electronic scoreboard installed in October 2011 measures 17 metres wide by 6.5 metres high, with an LED screen. It is the second largest in Bolivia, exceeded only by the board at Potosí's Estadio Víctor Agustín Ugarte, and resembles the one at Chile's Estadio Nacional.
