Estadio Samuel Vaca Jiménez
Warnes, Bolivia
Estadio Samuel Vaca Jiménez is not a cathedral of football, but it has not been forgotten. The ground was officially inaugurated on May 25, 2010, replacing an older facility that had served the community for decades. The construction was undertaken by the Municipality of Warnes under the administration of Mayor Mario Cronenbold, who had previously served as president of Sport Boys Warnes.
Professional databases such as Transfermarkt, Sofascore, AS.com, and Fichajes.com list the capacity as 18,000. However, Barrabrava.net and the Spanish Wikipedia article for the 2022 Departamental First "A" categories list it as 9,000. The lower figures may reflect seated capacity or older data, though the 18,000 figure is the most frequently cited in recent professional contexts.
Sport Boys Warnes (also known as Deportivo Warnes or Atlético Warnes) are the primary tenants of the stadium, having used the venue since its modernisation. Satélite Norte F.C., which competes in the Copa Simón Bolívar (second tier), also uses the stadium as its home ground. Additionally, the top-flight club Blooming has occasionally used the stadium for home matches, particularly during renovations of their main stadium or for specific competitions like the Copa Sudamericana, but it is not their permanent home. The stadium has not been renamed and is consistently known as Estadio Samuel Vaca Jiménez.
