Estadio Rodrigo Paz Delgado
Quito, Ecuador
Formerly: Estadio Liga Deportiva Universitaria, Estadio LDU
La Casa Blanca dominates the skyline of the Ponceano sector. Its white concrete stands are visible from the intersection of Av. John F. Kennedy and Gustavo Lemos, a landmark that has defined the neighbourhood since March 6, 1997 . The opening match against Atlético Mineiro set the standard for what was to follow: a fortress for the home side.
The modernisation of the pitch is immediate. The GrassMaster hybrid surface is visible underfoot. The screen displays the UDL logo alongside the club's web address, a constant reminder of the institution's reach beyond the pitch.
History is written on the walls. The venue was renamed on June 12, 2017 , honouring Rodrigo Paz Delgado, the honorary president who had passed away earlier that year. Before that date, and in the memories of older fans, it remains the Estadio Liga Deportiva Universitaria. The stadium has hosted seven major international finals for LDU Quito, including the 2008 Copa Libertadores Final against Fluminense. The capacity is fixed at 41,575 by municipal regulation, a number that has not changed despite renovations aimed at meeting international standards.
More recently, the venue has opened its doors to women's football. The 2025 Copa América Femenina final, where Brazil defeated Colombia, brought a new audience to the stands.
