Estadio Olímpico Sección XXIV is a football ground in Salamanca, Guanajuato, opened in 1951 and run by the Sindicato de Trabajadores Petroleros de la República Mexicana.

The stadium was founded in 1951 and is operated by the Sindicato de Trabajadores Petroleros de la República Mexicana. Since its opening, it has hosted numerous football competitions in the region.
The ground is owned by the Sindicato de Trabajadores Petroleros de la República Mexicana, the oil workers' union, which ties the venue to Salamanca's refinery history. Its name, Sección XXIV, refers to union section 24. Local sides have used it in stretches since 2004, when Trotamundos Salamanca made it their home.
The stadium is easily accessible and provides parking and restroom facilities for visitors. When planning a visit, check weather forecasts and wear comfortable footwear for walking around.
The stadium opened in 1951 but was long used mainly for events tied to Salamanca's oil industry, while local league teams played at Estadio El Molinito downtown. In 2006 Petroleros reached the Primera A final, losing to Puebla, and a plan to expand to 25,000 seats was dropped after the club was sold to Reboceros de La Piedad.
