Estadio Presidente Peron
Córdoba, Argentina
Formerly: Estadio Juan Domingo Perón
The Estadio Monumental Presidente Perón is a stadium in Córdoba. An alternative proposal to mark the club’s own Osvaldo Ardiles has not yet gone through.
What you see on the pitch is not the whole story. The ground is built in layers. The upper stand, known locally as the Tribuna Alta Jujuy, was the only section finished when the stadium opened in 1951, because construction costs and delays left the club with debts that the government eventually cleared in 1959. The western tribune followed in 1960, and the wide southern general admission stand came in 1973. A high northern stand arrived in 1978, and the corner section that connects the two stands was added in 1995.
The track around the pitch still carries the Olympic fencing that was installed during the 1981 extension, and the floodlights were replaced with a modern LED system in 2022 as part of a Smart Stadium upgrade that also brought Wi-Fi to the stands. The official seating figure sits at 26,000, though older records and rival websites will tell you different numbers, from twenty-three thousand to thirty-two thousand five hundred and thirty-five. The attendance record is not definitively found, though one source mentions thirty-five thousand five hundred and thirty-five spectators without specific match details.
The pitch is natural grass. The stadium has hosted major concerts, including Aerosmith and Phil Collins, and it was the venue for the 2025 Copa Argentina Final, the first to use VAR. The ground is still the home of Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba.
