Estadio Sergio León Chávez

Estadio Sergio León Chávez, Football stadium in Irapuato, Mexico

The Estadio Sergio León Chávez is a football stadium in Irapuato, Guanajuato, home of Club Deportivo Irapuato. It was built on part of the old Revolución Mexicana nursery next to the Estadio Revolución, and its capacity grew from 16,000 to 30,000–33,000 for the 1986 World Cup.

The stadium broke ground in 1967 on part of the old Revolución Mexicana nursery and was officially inaugurated on 23 March 1969 as Estadio Irapuato, with Mexico beating the hosts 4-1. It was renamed on 4 January 1990 after Sergio León Chávez, the club president who pushed for its construction. Expanded for the 1986 World Cup, it hosted three Group C matches.

The stadium's name honours Sergio León Chávez, the former club president who pushed through its construction; it was renamed on 4 January 1990. Fans of the Freseros del Irapuato fill the stands, and the ground is remembered for the 1978 promotion-final riot, when supporters invaded the pitch and looted both clubs' equipment.

The stadium stands in the former Revolución Mexicana nursery grounds, next to the old Estadio Revolución. It is a multi-purpose venue used mainly for football, so check which club or competition is playing before travelling; the ground is also used for training sessions.

Hungary's 1986 World Cup match against the Soviet Union, a 6-0 defeat on 2 June, was the last time the Hungarian national team played a World Cup finals game; Canada waited 36 years for another. The Soviet squad also trained in Irapuato before the tournament.
