Estadio Eduardo Santos, Football stadium in Santa Marta, Colombia.
Estadio Eduardo Santos is a football stadium in Santa Marta with concrete bleachers encircling a grass pitch. It accommodates roughly 23,000 spectators during matches and sporting events.
The stadium opened in 1951 as the home ground for Union Magdalena football club. The team achieved their national championship victory there in 1968.
The stadium's name honors a former Colombian president. A monument to footballer Carlos Valderrama stands near the entrance, reflecting his connection to the city.
The stadium sits on Carrera 18 in Santa Marta, surrounded by restaurants and bars. Visitors will find dining options nearby to grab food or drinks before or after events.
The venue is being considered for recognition as a Cultural and Sports Heritage site of Colombia. This potential designation could lead to the establishment of a dedicated preservation fund.
