Estadio José Nehin, popularly known as El Serpentario (the serpentarium), is a football football located in the city of San Juan in the homonymous province of Argentina. It is owned and operated by Club Sportivo Desamparados, and has a capacity of 18,000 spectators.[2]
Overview
The stadium was named after José Nehin,[3] footballer of Sportivo Desamaparados between 1920 and 1932.[4] Nehin also played for the Argentina national team at the 1934 FIFA World Cup.[5] [6] He is the only San Juan-born footballer to have played in a World Cup.[7] [8]
The stadium was inaugurated on 5 June 1960.[9] The origin of its nickname, serpentarium, is related to Desamparados' nickname, Víbora (snake).[1]
Estadio José Nahin inaugurated its lighting system in 2007. In 2023, it was replaced by a more modern system as part of several refurbishment works that included toilets and the construction of a restaurant for club members.[1]
