Upcoming Events at Antiguo Estadio Nacional
Antiguo Estadio Nacional is a storied landmark in Lima’s Santa Beatriz district, near Parque de la Exposición. This early multi-use football stadium, originally known as Estadio Guadalupe before 1921 and renamed Estadio Nacional in 1921, historically hosted major regional events and now serves as a key reference point for visitors exploring Lima’s athletic heritage. The original venue accommodated up to 6,000 spectators and featured wooden grandstands typical of its era. Though demolished in 1951 to make way for the current Estadio Nacional, the site remains a significant chapter in Peru’s sports history, having hosted the South American Championship (1927, 1935, 1939) and the Bolivarian Games (1947–1948).
