Estadio Guillermo Próspero Trinidad
Oranjestad, Aruba
Formerly: Wilhelminastadion
Estadio Guillermo Próspero Trinidad opened on 12 April 1952 as the Wilhelminastadion, in a ceremony that paired a gymnastics display by 800 schoolchildren with a match between Bubali and Hung Santa Cruz. The current name dates only to 1994, when the ground was rebuilt and renamed for a local politician from Dakota.
The building has spent long stretches out of step with the game it hosts. By 2018 FIFA had ruled the ground below international standard for lack of upkeep, and it took until March 2023 for a proper overhaul. A new roof was planned alongside the work.
Between those two points the stadium found other uses. HBO filmed a Sinbad comedy special there in 1997, and Michael Bolton played a concert on the pitch on 22 September 2011. Outside such bookings, it remains the shared home of Aruba's national team and three Oranjestad clubs — SV Dakota, SV River Plate and Racing Club Aruba.
