Estadio Yankel Rosenthal Cuello, Football stadium in San Pedro Sula, Honduras.
Estadio Yankel Rosenthal is a multi-purpose stadium in San Pedro Sula, home ground of Club Deportivo Marathón of the Honduran Liga Nacional. Its capacity is 5,500 spectators, and renovations were completed in 2009. Beside it stands the club's sports complex, with a residential hotel, gym, training pitch and administrative offices.
Marathón's board planned their own ground, and the project, scheduled for completion by 2007, slipped to 2009 because of financial problems; renovations were finished that year. The first match was played on 11 August 2010, when Juan Ramón Mejía scored for Deportes Savio in the 27th minute of a 1–1 draw with Marathón. Yankel Rosenthal, the club's president and part owner, started the building work.
The ground is named after Yankel Rosenthal, Marathón's president and part owner, who started building it. Marathón, founded on 25 November 1925, is the second oldest club in Honduras, and its fans fill the stands for home league matches.
The stadium has multiple entrance gates for convenient access and is well served by public transportation options. Visitors should arrive early on game days to avoid long queues during peak times.
The stadium is named after Yankel Rosenthal, Marathón's president and part owner, who started its construction. In 2022 it served as a provisional venue for the CONCACAF U-20 Championship, hosting four matches, including Honduras–Costa Rica and Honduras–Curaçao, after heavy rain damaged the pitch at Estadio Francisco Morazán.
