Estadio Mâs Monumental,[4][1][5] popularly known as River Plate Stadium, Monumental de Núñez, or simply El Monumental, is a stadium in Buenos Aires Argentina. Located in the neighborhood of Belgrano (although popular belief wrongly states that the stadium is in the Núñez district),[6] the stadium is owned and operated by Club Atlético River Plate.[7]
It was opened on 26 May 1938 and named after former club president Antonio Vespucio Liberti (1900–1978). It is the largest stadium in both Argentina and all of South America with a capacity of 86,049 and is also home of the Argentina national football team. It was the main venue in the 1951 Pan American Games. It hosted the 1978 FIFA World Cup Final between Argentina and the Netherlands. It has also hosted four finals of the Copa América, most recently in 2011.[8]
