Estadio Municipal Roberto Bravo Santibáñez, Municipal stadium in Melipilla, Chile
Estadio Municipal Roberto Bravo Santibáñez is a sports facility in Melipilla with a grass field designed for football matches. The venue can hold about 6,500 spectators and serves as the home ground for local teams and regional competitions.
The facility was opened in 1942 by the Municipality of Melipilla to serve as a center for regional sporting events. It became an important location for competitions and community gatherings in the area.
The ground is linked to Santiago Morning, whose fans are called Microbuseros: they first used it in 1982 and returned 27 years later, in 2010, after playing home games at various venues across the metropolitan area. In 1985 it hosted Chile ayuda a Chile on 8–9 March, a relief drive after the 3 March earthquake that collected 500 lorry-loads of supplies in 30 hours.
The stadium stands at the corner of Ortúzar and Manuel Benítez streets in Melipilla. It is unfinished and closed to the public as of mid-2025, so it cannot be visited; the municipal council says works will resume only after a structural review and a revised budget are secured.
In 2008 the venue hosted matches for the South American Championship featuring the Chilean Under-17 women's national team. This marked a significant moment for women's football in the region.
