Estadio Jorge "El Mágico" González, Football stadium in San Salvador, El Salvador
Estadio Jorge "El Mágico" González is a football stadium in San Salvador, El Salvador. It has individual seats for 30,000 spectators and also hosts athletics events on a synthetic track.
Built between 1932 and 1934, the stadium hosted the 1935 Central American and Caribbean Games. It was renovated in 2002 and renamed in 2006 after the famous player.
The stadium is named after Jorge "El Mágico" González, a beloved Salvadoran footballer, and his nickname appears in murals and chants. On match days, the stands fill with fans wearing the colors of local teams, and the sound of drums and horns carries into the surrounding streets.
The stadium is in the Flor Blanca neighborhood, and you can walk around the outside to get a sense of its size. On event days, arrive early to avoid crowds and use the parking area between El Progreso street and Avenida Olímpica.
The stadium's facade is illuminated with a color-changing lighting system that makes it stand out at night. Next to it, a small multi-use pitch called "La cuna del Mágico" honors the player and hosts sports like futsal and taekwondo.
