Estadio Manuel Felipe Carrera
Guatemala City, Guatemala
Formerly: El Trébol
El Trébol carries the nickname that everyone in the capital still uses, and it has outlasted the official name change to Manuel Felipe Carrera by decades. That staying power comes from what happens on it: this is where Municipal, Los Rojos, play their home fixtures, and the ground belongs to the municipality itself rather than to the club.
The pitch is one detail worth noting on its own. Grass, not the artificial surface laid at Estadio Cementos Progreso nearby — a distinction that matters to anyone comparing the two grounds in the same city.
Work on the stadium has come in waves rather than as a single project. It opened in 1991, was reconstructed in 2012 in a phase that brought it into use for Liga Nacional matches, and has been touched again more recently, with a further reconstruction reported for 2025.
Capacity is where the record gets untidy: figures cited for El Trébol range from around 7,480 up to 10,000, depending on the count used, and no single number has settled as the definitive one.
