Estadio Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera is a football stadium in central Santa Cruz de la Sierra, between the first and second ring roads near Avenida del Ejército Nacional, Ana Barba and Héroes del Chaco, at 420 m above sea level. Its natural grass pitch runs east to west rather than north to south, to counter the strong northerly winds. Capacity is 32,740, the second largest in Bolivia.
The stadium originally opened in 1940 as Estadio Departamental and received its current name in 1979 in honor of the founder of the local football academy. This renaming reflected the growing importance of youth development in the city's football culture.

The stadium is accessible via major city streets and is conveniently located for visitors from different parts of the city. Plan extra time when traveling on match days due to increased traffic and crowds around the venue.
The stadium hosts the annual Mundialito Paz y Unidad, an international youth football tournament that brings teams from around the world to compete. This event has become an important gathering for young players seeking international experience and exposure.
