Stadium Information

The Nemesio Camacho El Campín Stadium, simply known as El Campín, is the main football venue in Bogotá, Colombia, and one of the most recognized in the country. It was inaugurated on August 10, 1938, during the Bolivarian Games, and its name honors Nemesio Camacho, a politician and entrepreneur who donated the land for its construction. Since then, it has been a focal point of Colombian sports, evolving through multiple stages to adapt to modern standards.

With a capacity of around 36,000 spectators, although in the past it exceeded 45,000, El Campín has been renovated several times, notably for the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2011, where the stands, lighting, and general infrastructure were improved. Its turf has witnessed historic clashes between Millonarios and Santa Fe, the two Bogotá clubs that share this venue and are part of one of the most intense rivalries in Colombian football.

The stadium has also hosted major international events, such as the aforementioned U-20 World Cup, the 2001 Copa America (although for security reasons no matches were ultimately played there), and various concerts by global artists. A notable event occurred in 1989 when it was the venue for a historic concert by The Cure, marking an era of massive shows in the city.
