Estadio Florencio Sola, football stadium in Banfield, Argentina
Estadio Florencio Sola is a football stadium in Lomas de Zamora that serves as the home of Club Atlético Banfield. The venue holds approximately 35,000 spectators and features a playing field measuring about 102 meters by 66 meters, surrounded by four streets and equipped with modern LED display technology.
The stadium opened on 6 October 1940 with a friendly against Independiente, reigning 1939 champions, who won 1-0 through an Arsenio Erico goal. It is named after Florencio Lencho Sola, club president in 1938-44 and 1947-54. Its concrete grandstands made it the fourth all-cement ground in Argentina, after Atlético Tucumán (1922), Independiente (1928) and River Plate (1938).
The stadium is named after Florencio Lencho Sola, club president in 1938–44 and 1947–54. In 2011 it hosted concerts by Joaquín Sabina in April and Joan Manuel Serrat in October, part of Banfield's 150th anniversary celebrations organised by the Lomas de Zamora municipality, with about 30,000 attending. The ground also hosted the premiere of a film about José Luis Garrafa Sánchez, the club's most important player.
The stadium can be accessed from four different surrounding streets, offering multiple entry points and parking options for visitors. The facility includes elevators, cafeterias, and modern amenities that make your visit more comfortable and convenient.
Between May 1950 and June 1953, Banfield went 49 matches unbeaten at this ground, scoring 114 goals in that run. The record still stands as the club's proudest mark, and the streak is the figure fans cite when defending the stadium's place in Argentine football history.
