Estadio José Gregorio Martínez, Football stadium in Chalatenango, El Salvador

Estadio José Gregorio Martínez is a football stadium in Chalatenango with a grass playing field and seating for several thousand spectators. The venue includes parking areas, restroom facilities, and lighting for evening matches.

The stadium stands on land that was once the Totolco farm, acquired by the CEL and later transferred to José Gregorio Martínez, founder of Club Deportivo Chalatenango. With backing from President Carlos Humberto Romero, it was built for 15,000 spectators; planned basketball courts and pools were dropped after Romero was ousted in October 1979. In 1984 a club vote chose Martínez's name over Romero's, and Romero conceded that Goyo had secured the land and spent his own money.

The stadium has served as the home of the local football club and shapes how the community gathers around sports. It functions as a social hub where residents come together to support their team.

The venue has ample parking and is well lit for different times of day. Keep in mind that match schedules can vary by season, so it is helpful to check ahead before visiting.

The stadium was known by a different name before being renamed in 1984 through a community vote. This decision reflected the desire to honour a founder of the town and strengthen the place's connection to local history.
