Estadio Huancayo, Football stadium in Huancayo, Peru
Description
Estadio Huancayo is a football venue located in the highlands of Peru that serves as home to two professional teams and holds nearly 24,500 spectators. The playing field features natural grass, and the stadium structure provides multiple viewing areas across its concrete stands.
History
The facility was established in 1962 as Estadio IV Centenario by Peru's sports institute and was renamed in 2005 to its current name. Since its opening, it has served as the primary venue for regional football competitions.
Culture
The stadium functions as a central gathering place for the local community during match days, with supporters showing strong devotion to their teams. Fans fill the stands to witness regional and national competitions, making it a focal point for sports enthusiasm in the city.
Practical
The stadium sits at approximately 3,250 meters (10,660 feet) elevation in the mountain region, which visitors should keep in mind when planning a visit. Multiple entrances serve different sections for home and visiting supporters, making access straightforward on match days.
Did you know?
The extreme elevation affects how the game is played, as the thin mountain air changes the ball's trajectory and tires players more quickly. Teams must adapt their playing style to handle these distinct physical conditions effectively.
