Lobos Marinos de La Paz (Liga Premier) (2019–present)

The Estadio Guaycura is a football stadium in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. With a capacity of 5,209, it serves as the home stadium of La Paz F.C. in the third-tier Liga Premier.[1] Along with the baseball-specific Estadio Arturo C. Nahl and the indoor Arena La Paz, it forms a part of a sports complex called Villa Deportiva de La Paz.[2]

History[]

In 2018, the stadium underwent a process of expansion and modernization in order to meet the necessary requirements to be able to host a professional football team.[3] This work included the installation of five thousand new seats, artificial turf, LED lights, changing rooms, luxury boxes, additional restroom facilities and amenities for disabled individuals.[4]

In February 2019, a friendly match between legends from Chivas and América was held at the stadium to inaugurate the renovations.[4] It was also announced that the venue would be hosting Lobos Marinos de La Paz, who were set to make their debut in the third-tier Liga Premier de México in the upcoming 2019–20 season.[5]

Alternate uses[]

The stadium has also been used sparingly for events such as concerts and political gatherings,[6] as well as amateur football matches.
