Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa (pronounced as /es/) is a multi-purpose stadium in Quito, Ecuador. It is currently used primarily for football matches and has a capacity of 35,258.[2]
Built in 1951, it sits at the intersection of the Avenida 6 de Diciembre and Avenida Naciones Unidas, two major streets in Ecuador's capital city. Football clubs Deportivo Quito, El Nacional and Universidad Católica use the facility for their home games, although other prominent teams in the city have used the stadium for home games in the past. The stadium is named after the Inca Emperor Atahualpa. The stadium is located at an elevation of 2782m (9,127feet).[3]
At this venue, the Ecuador national team has defeated Brazil twice, Paraguay three times, and Argentina twice, amongst others, securing their positions in Korea/Japan 2002, Germany 2006, and Brazil 2014. During the qualifying for Germany 2006 and Brazil 2014, Ecuador qualified and remained undefeated at this stadium. This record was broken by Brazil in 2018 World Cup qualification after Brazil defeated Ecuador 0-3 in the stadium.
The current structure was set to be demolished in late 2020 to make way for a new, more modern venue,[4] but as of 2023, that did not happen.
