Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario is afootballstadium located in thePocito Department ofSan Juan Province, Argentina. Owned by the Government of San Juan Province, it currently hosts the home matches of local clubsSan Martín,Sportivo Desamparados, and others. The stadium also served as venue for the2011 Copa América. Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario was designed with a capacity of 25,000 spectators[3] and required an investment ofAR$86 million.[2]
Apart from football matches, the stadium has also hostedrugby union andfield hockey matches.[1]
Works started in March 2009, with a total of 500 workers employed.[4] Works extended for 24 months.[1] The stadium was supposed to be inaugurated in May, 2010, to commemorate the 200 years of theMay Revolution. Delays, however, have meant that the stadium was inaugurated on March 16, 2011, with theArgentina vsVenezuela friendly match which Argentina won by a score of 4–1, in front of an attendance of 30,000. That year, the stadium hosted group stage and quarter-final matches in the2011 Copa América.
In March 2013, an additional field was also inaugurated at a cost ofAR$ 9 million. The field has similar measures (105 x 68 m) and six lighting towers which allow it to host matches at night.[1]
In 2012, Estadio del Bicentenario hosted the first final of the relaunchedCopa Argentina, whereBoca Juniors beatRacing 21.[5] One year later, the stadium was one of the two venues of the2013 South American Youth Championship and hosted Group B in the first stage.
