Football in Argentina is unthinkable without its stadiums. In Buenos Aires, monumental stadiums, temples full of mystique, and smaller but equally intense venues coexist, where the ritual of fans remains intact. Each stadium has its own history, its own neighborhood, and its own unique codes.
1) River Plate - Estadio Monumental Inaugurated in 1938, the Antonio Vespucio Liberti stadium is the largest in the country and one of the most important in America. It is one of the great venues of Argentine second-division football, with a very marked identity and stands that usually pulsate strongly with every match.
2) Boca Juniors - La Bombonera The Alberto J. Armando stadium was inaugurated in 1940 and is one of the absolute icons of world football. Located in Caballito, in the geographical center of the city, it has been the venue for great sporting and historical events.
3) San Lorenzo - Estadio Pedro Bidegain Known as the "New Gasometer", it was inaugurated in 1993 in Bajo Flores. Located in Núñez, it was the venue for the 1978 World Cup final and is now a regular venue for River Plate, the Argentina national team, and major concerts.
