History and description

The stadium was originally called Estadio Ciudad de Mendoza, and it opened in 1978 to serve as one of the playing venues of the 1978 World Cup. Construction works started in 1976 and it opened on 14 May 1978 with a friendly match between local selections of the cities of Mendoza and San Rafael. The 1978 World Cup stadium hosted three first round group matches and three second round group matches.

The stadium was renamed in 1982 following the Falklands War.

The stadium was extensively refurbished in preparation for the 2011 Copa America.

How to get to Estadio Malvinas Argentinas

The Estadio Malvinas Argentinas is located in the western edge of Mendoza, next to Parque San Martin and the UNCUYO University campus. The stadium is located just under 4 km west of Plaza Independencia, the city's central square. It is a pleasant 50-minute walk to the stadium, partly through the park and Avenida Aristides Villanueva, Medoza?s main restaurant strip, and through the well-off La Quinta Sección neighbourhood.

Alternatively, check bus schedules to see if any buses pass by the stadium. Taking a bus to UNCUYO campus, for example, will get you much closer to the stadium.
