Annex: Soccer stadiums in Peru

National Stadium of Lima, opened on October 27, 1952. Its history makes its infrastructure a sporting symbol of the country.

A coliseum is a large space conditioned and built for public shows, and a stadium is classified within this category (being a venue for sports competitions with stands for spectators). In turn, the stadiums can be of different types depending on the main activity for which they are built. In Peru, football stadiums stand out almost exclusively.

Peru practices soccer in all its corners, some of its cities have a great sports infrastructure, largely improved on the occasion of events that Peru hosted years ago (Copa América 2004, U-17 World Cup 2005).

The oldest soccer field in Peru belongs to the Lima Cricket and Foot Ball Club (the oldest club in the American continent), however, the first Stadium in Peru was the Guadalupe Stadium, owned by its rival, the Unión club Cricket, today non-existent, but on whose land the National Stadium of Peru was built, administered by the IPD (Peruvian Institute of Sports), which is one of the two largest stadiums owned by the Peruvian State along with the Olympic Stadium in San Marcos, administered by the UNMSM (Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos), both located in the capital city of the country.

Peru is home to the largest stadium in South America, the Estadio Monumental - U, owned by the Club Universitario de Deportes, located in Lima. The largest stadiums outside the Peruvian capital are the Estadio Monumental de la UNSA (administered by the Universidad Nacional San Agustín), in Arequipa, and the Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega (administered by the IPD), in Cusco.
