Estadio Nacional de Lima
The
Estadio Nacional
of Peru is a
multi-purpose stadium
located in
Lima
,
Peru
. Its current capacity is 40,000 seats as stated by the
Peruvian Football Federation
without the lodges for some thousands more. The stadium was first inaugurated on 27 October 1952 for the
1953 South American Championship
—replacing the
Stadium Nacional
—and is Peru's principal and
national stadium
. It has hosted three of the six
South American Championship/Copa América
football competitions held in Peru. It is referred to as the Coloso de José Díaz because of its proximity to a street of the same name. It is the home ground of the
Peru national football team
. The IPD (Peruvian Sport Institute)—a branch of the
Ministry of Education
—is the stadium's administrating entity. The stadium has undergone several renovations since its construction such as for the
2004 Copa América
and the artificial turf that was installed for the
2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship
. The most recent renovation started in 2010 and concluded in 2011. The re-inauguration ceremony of the renovated stadium was held on 24 July 2011 with a match between the
Peru national under-20 football team
and the
Spain national under-20 football team
.
