Aerial View of Estadio Monumental “U” in Lima

The Estadio Monumental “U” is Peru's largest and most modern stadium located in Lima. It is also considered one of South America's newest and most modern stadiums, with an 80.000-spectator capacity. The stadium was built conforming FIFA's manual of technical specifications for stadiums. Inaugarated in July 2, 2000, the stadium, though belonging to GREMCO (Construction Peruvian Corporation), became the new home venue of Universitario de Deportes, replacing the team's old stadium, Estadio Lolo Fernández, also in Lima. The stadium's first game was between Universitario de Deportes vs. Sporting Cristal, with the former winning by 2 to 0. In addition, it has also been hosting games of Peru's national football team, which had used the previous Estadio Nacional as its official stadium, although with a smaller spectator capacity of only 42.000.
