Estadio Hugo Palenque Sánchez
Challapata, Bolivia
Formerly: Estadio Municipal de Challapata
For a ground at that altitude, the pitch is a living thing. Frost has a habit of returning and the grass needs tending if it is to survive. Tankers have been brought in to irrigate the surface when the pumps failed.
The pitch itself is natural grass. The ground is home to clubs like CD Guadalajara (Qaqachaca) and Boca Juniors de Challapata, who use it for their fixtures. The venue has hosted the Copa Simón Bolívar, the second tier of Bolivian football.
Attendance figures for the place are sparse, but one record stands out. In 2009, Club San José played a friendly against the local Challapata selection and drew 3,000 people. That figure remains the highest recorded for the stadium.
The ground is named after Hugo Palenque Sánchez, a player for the national team between 1963 and 1967. He was part of the squad that won the 1963 South American Championship, a title that has been carried forward in the naming of the stadium. A final for the 2018 Bolivian Women's National Championship was played here, where Deportivo ITA defeated San Martín de Porres 4-3.
The exact year it was built is not found in any source, nor is the cost of its construction. There is no clear address for the ground either.
