The Pascual Guerrero Olympic Stadium, located in the traditional San Fernando neighborhood of Cali, Colombia, is a symbol of sport in the country. Inaugurated on July 20, 1937, initially with a capacity for 6,500 spectators, it has witnessed countless sports and cultural events throughout its history. Its name pays tribute to the poet Pascual Guerrero, who donated the land for its construction.
Over the decades, the stadium has undergone various renovations. In 1971, on the occasion of the VI Pan American Games, its capacity was increased and adapted to the Olympic regulations of the time. More recently, in preparation for the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup, significant improvements were made, including the installation of seating in all stands, modernization of dressing rooms, and the construction of boxes in the east stand. Currently, the stadium has an approximate capacity of 36,000 spectators.
The "Pascual", as it is affectionately called by the people of Cali, is the main venue for América de Cali, one of the most successful clubs in Colombian football. It has also hosted matches for other local teams such as Atlético F.C. and Boca Juniors de Cali. Its turf has witnessed finals of the Copa Libertadores, the 2001 Copa América, and more recently, the 2022 Copa América Femenina. It has also been the setting for cultural events and concerts by internationally renowned artists.
A noteworthy curiosity is that the stadium is mentioned in the iconic song "Cali Pachanguero" by Grupo Niche, reflecting its importance in the city's cultural identity. Furthermore, its strategic location between 5th Street and Roosevelt Avenue makes it an accessible meeting point for fans. The sports complex surrounding it, known as the San Fernando Sports Unit, reinforces its role as the epicenter of sport in Cali.
