Estadio Centenario Ciudad de Quilmes is afootballstadium located inQuilmes,Argentina. The stadium, owned and managed byQuilmes Atlético Club, has a capacity of 30,200 people[4] and was inaugurated in 1995.[2] replacing the first Quilmes A.C. venue,Estadio Guido y Sarmiento.[3]
The Estadio Centenario was named in commemoration of the 100th. anniversary of Quilmes A.C., which sets its year of foundation in 1887.[5][6][7]
The club announced the construction of a new stadium in November 1987, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the institution.[3] Proyect was directed by architect Iván Urbán (also a Quilmes supporter)[8] and works began one year later. The stadium was partially opened in 1993 with a friendly match between "Quilmes Campeón" (a combined with former players of the1978 Primera División champion team) and an all-time stars combined team.
The venue was officially inaugurated on April 25, 1995, with the name "Estadio Centenario 'José Luis Meiszner'". Meizner was then the president of Quilmes. Celebrations included a match between Quilmes andUruguayan clubNacional, won by Quilmes 2–1.
On June 30, 1995, theArgentina national football team played for the first time in Estadio Centenario v.Australia, winning 2-0 with goals scored byAbel Balbo andGabriel Batistuta. The stadium was refurbished and later re-opened in November 1998.
The old Quilmes stadium located on Guido and Sarmiento streets (behind the club's headquarters) was demolished. The stadium has been used by other teams such asEstudiantes de La Plata in the2010 Apertura championship, which also won coached byAlejandro Sabella.
In 2016, the club (led by new president Marcelo Callelo) changed the name of the stadium to "Estadio Centenario Ciudad de Quilmes", removing the name of the former president after he was involved in the2015 FIFA corruption case.[9] Meiszner had managed the club for over 30 years, apart from being a close collaborator ofJulio Grondona in theArgentine Football Association.[10]
What we want to do is to change the image of the club (...) We didn't want to see it being associated tomafia or illicit acts. Thus, changing the stadium name was an important step for that purpose.[9]
