Estadio Metropolitano de Fútbol de Lara

The Estadio Metropolitano de Lara is a football stadium in Barquisimeto with a grass pitch and seating for approximately 40,000 spectators. The venue features modern facilities and is fully equipped for professional matches.

The stadium was commissioned by the Venezuelan government and built by construction firm Jantesa between 2006 and 2009. It was developed as a modern sports facility for the Lara region.

The stadium serves as the home of local football club ACD Lara and plays a central role in the city's sports life. Matches held here draw supporters from across the region throughout the year.

The stadium has three parking areas accommodating around 4,000 vehicles, making it accessible for those arriving by car. The complex provides changing rooms, medical facilities, and other essential services for visitors.

The stadium was intentionally designed without an athletics track, positioning spectators closer to the playing field. This design approach mirrors Old Trafford in Manchester and creates a more intimate setting for supporters.
