Estadio Hernando Siles, Football stadium in Miraflores district, La Paz, Bolivia.
Estadio Hernando Siles is a football stadium in the Miraflores district of La Paz with seating for over forty thousand spectators. The venue serves as home ground for national teams and several professional clubs from the region.
Construction was completed in 1930 with an opening match between The Strongest and Universitario. The name honors Hernando Siles Reyes, who held the office of president between 1926 and 1930.
The stadium hosts three major Bolivian football clubs - Club Bolivar, The Strongest, and La Paz FC - making it central to the country's football tradition.
Matches usually take place on Wednesday evenings or Sunday afternoons, with the atmosphere becoming particularly intense during derbies between local teams. Visitors looking to enhance the experience should arrive early to adjust to the altitude.
The venue sits at 3,637 meters (about 11,932 feet) above sea level, making it one of the highest football arenas in the world. FIFA granted a special exemption allowing international matches to continue taking place there.
