Municipal de Collao
Concepción, Chile
The stadium was rebuilt for the 2015 tournaments, a project that unified the north and south stands and added the roof. The capacity was reduced to 30,448, a figure that feels tight when the teams are playing each other. Huachipato and Universidad de Concepción call this place home, and the rivalry between them is one of the few things that still draws a sell-out crowd. The atmosphere is different on matchdays, with the track reminding you that this is a multi-purpose venue. In recent years, the violence has been more prominent than the football, with matches ending before they should.
The address sits at the intersection of Avenida Ignacio Collao and Calle Tegualda. It is not a place that hides itself; the flags on top of the scoreboard make it visible from the road. The stadium has seen everything from the 1987 U-20 World Cup to the 2022 Supercopa de Chile, but it is the 2015 tournament that changed its shape. The yellow seats are still in place, and the concrete remains solid. It is a place where the history is written in the stone, not on a screen.
