Estadio San Cristóbal, Football stadium in David, Panama.
Estadio San Cristóbal is a football stadium in the San Cristóbal neighbourhood of David, Chiriquí. Its pitch is synthetic grass measuring 105 by 68 metres, approved by FIFA, and the ground has two covered stands with seating, a VIP area at pitch level, eight broadcast booths and four towers with 40 LED lights.
Estadio San Cristóbal was built and inaugurated in 1999 in the San Cristóbal neighbourhood of David. In 2008 its grass was replaced, and it was re-inaugurated in the 2009 season with a match between Atlético Chiriquí and CD Árabe Unido. On 27 March 2010 it hosted Panama versus Guatemala at under-21 level, its first international fixture. A reconstruction ordered on 26 March 2016 under President Juan Carlos Varela and Pandeportes director Mario A. Pérez added covered seating, a VIP area and a FIFA-approved synthetic pitch.
The stadium brings together residents of David who come to cheer for their local teams and share moments of excitement and celebration. This gathering place creates bonds between fans who experience matches as communal events.
Seating totals 2,876 covered seats, with roughly 3,000 spectators overall, and the site has 150 parking spaces, two of them for buses. Special sections are reserved for people with disabilities, and eight broadcast booths serve media. The pitch measures 105 by 68 metres.
The stadium has no running track around the pitch, meaning the stands sit very close to the football field. This creates an immediate connection between players and spectators during matches.
