Estadio Olímpico Metropolitano de Mérida

Estadio Metropolitano de Mérida sits in Mérida, Venezuela, nestled within the 'Cinco Águilas Blancas' sports complex. The ground is defined by its dual identity as a football arena and an athletics track.

Built for the Copa América 2007, the stadium opened with a provisional stand before reaching its full 42,200 capacity. The pitch is natural grass, maintained to British standards, which has seen it host three group stage matches during that tournament. One of those fixtures, against Uruguay, drew a crowd of 42,200 spectators, a number that matches the venue's full capacity. The ground is owned by the Instituto Nacional de Deportes and managed by the Servicio Autónomo Estadio Metropolitano (SAEM). It has not undergone official renaming due to sponsorship, though locals call it 'El Coloso de Zumba'.

Outside of football, the venue has hosted major concerts by artists such as Luis Fonsi and Camila between 2008 and 2016. The official inauguration match on May 25, 2007, was a friendly between Venezuela and Honduras, attended by President Hugo Chávez. The exact street address is not precisely defined in sources, with references pointing to the Cinco Águilas Blancas Sports Complex, Urbanización Hacienda Zumba, Urbanización La Mara, and access via Av. Andrés Bello and Monseñor Chacón avenues. No official standalone website for the stadium was found.
