Estadio Correcaminos, Multi-use stadium in El Salvador
Estadio Correcaminos is a football stadium in San Francisco Gotera, El Salvador, with a capacity of 12,000 and a grass pitch surrounded by stands close to the field. It is managed by the Instituto Nacional de los Deportes under a loan arrangement and was the home ground of Club Deportivo Vista Hermosa until the team's relegation in 2012. The English Wikipedia lists Fuerte San Francisco as its current home team.
Estadio Correcaminos cost US$510,000 to build. Its first official match was played on 6 April 2009, when the home side beat Club Deportivo Juventud Independiente 1-0 with a goal by the Honduran Luciano Valerio. The official inauguration followed on 15 April 2009 against Club Deportivo Águila, a 3-1 home win. After losing the ground at the end of the Apertura 2010 tournament over the owner's legal problems, the club returned to the Estadio Luis Amílcar Moreno and came back here for the fifth round of the Apertura 2011.
The stadium's name comes from the nickname Correcaminos of the local club that played here, and the first official match on 6 April 2009 was a 1-0 win over Juventud Independiente, the goal scored by Honduran Luciano Valerio. The official inauguration followed on 15 April 2009 with a 3-1 result against Club Deportivo Águila.
The stadium stands in San Francisco Gotera, in the Morazán department of eastern El Salvador. It is run by INDES under a loan agreement (comodato), so access to the stands depends on the municipal institute rather than a private operator.
