History

Works started in March 2009, with a total of 500 workers employed.[4] One year later, the stadium was one of the two venues of the 2013 South American Youth Championship and hosted Group B in the first stage.

In 2018, it again hosted the Argentina national team, this time for a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONMEBOL) match against Colombia, which Argentina won 3–0.

In 2023, the stadium is expected to host matches of the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
