The stadium in Rancagua is the product of a copper mine and a World Cup. O'Higgins play there, but the ground’s origin is older than the club. Built by the Braden Copper Company for its workers, the venue opened in 1947 as Estadio Braden Copper Co. Codelco took over after the industry’s nationalisation in 1971, renaming it Estadio El Teniente—a name that has lasted until an official change in 2025 to Estadio Codelco El Teniente.

What you see now is not what was there then. The original structure was demolished between 2013 and 2014 for the 2015 Copa América. The rebuild cost was variously reported as $9.9 million or $17 million USD. The architects were Gerardo Marambio, Claudio Aceituno, Pablo Allende and Pedro Pinochet, with Cerinco as contractor.

The pitch is natural grass, surrounded by a blue running track. The stadium reopened on March 6, 2014, with a Copa Libertadores match between O'Higgins and Lanús. It has since hosted two international tournaments: seven matches in 1962, including the quarter-final between Czechoslovakia and Hungary, and several fixtures in 2015 and 2025.

Capacity figures are not settled. The Chilean Ministry of Sport lists 12,476, while the Stadium Guide gives 14,450. The attendance record is 13,160, though the match itself is unconfirmed. The address is Av. Capitán Ramón Freire s/n.
