Estadio Mario Camposeco, Football stadium in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala.
Estadio Mario Camposeco is a football stadium in Quetzaltenango with seating for about 11,000 spectators and a natural grass pitch. Located at the intersection of 14th Avenue and First Street in Zone 3, the facility features an electronic scoreboard and good sightlines throughout.
The stadium originally opened as Estadio Escolar in September 1950 and was renamed in 1951 to honor footballer Mario Camposeco after his death. Major renovations in 1999 and 2005 upgraded the infrastructure to meet international football standards.
The stadium is the home of Xelajú MC, one of the region's most popular clubs, and fans create an energetic environment on match days that reflects the local passion for football.
The venue is easily accessible and has good parking options near the street intersection. For large matches, expect longer wait times at entrances and exits, so arriving early is advisable.
The stadium received FIFA certification for international matches in 2000 and hosted Guatemala's first official international match against Barbados. This recognition marked a turning point for football development in the region.
