Estadio Claudio Chiqui Tapia
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Formerly: Estadio Olavarría y Luna
The ground sits in the Barracas neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. The club, Club Atlético Barracas Central, built the first stands with its own hands in 1916. They called it Estadio Olavarría y Luna, after the street where it stands.
For decades it held roughly 6,000 people, but the pitch called for more. The club was promoted to the top flight and needed to meet the requirements of the Argentine Primera División. The new work included a covered stand behind one goal and a modern system to drain the grass. They opened the doors again on July 18 that year. The capacity is now 12,000.
The name of the ground changed before the rebuild. In 2008 they renamed it Estadio Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia to honour a president who had served the club for nearly 20 years. It is not a commercial title; it is a tribute. The club played elsewhere while the stands went up, and when they returned, they played a match against Independiente Rivadavia to mark the occasion.
