Parque Bossio
Take the current name off the card and the reason it exists comes clean: this ground carries Pedro Bossio's name because he gave the land it stands on, and the club that plays there was still finding its feet at the time — Huracán del Paso de la Arena had been formed less than two decades earlier, a merger of Club Atlético Charrúa and La Esquinita Football Club rather than a club built from scratch. The opening followed on 25 September 1972, marked with a friendly rather than a competitive fixture, which is the usual way a small ground introduces itself to its neighbourhood.
Two thousand seats puts it well below the grounds used by Uruguay's leading sides, and Paso de la Arena itself sits on the western edge of Montevideo, away from the clubs that draw the bigger crowds. Huracán have made their name in the Segunda División rather than the top flight, and a ground of this size suits that level without needing to.
What is harder to pin down is the pitch itself. Natural grass is what the record shows, but there is enough doubt around whether the ground still hosts official fixtures that any description of matchday conditions here would be guesswork. No attendance record survives in what is available, which for a stadium of this size and profile is unremarkable rather than a gap worth dwelling on.
