Full detailAbout Estadio Más Monumental
The Más Monumental holds around 85,018 across four great stands: San Martín (the main west side, the oficial stand), Belgrano (east), plus the behind-goal ends Sívori (north) and Centenario (south). The San Martín and Belgrano sides carry the tiered plateas (bajas, medias and altas), while the Sívori and Centenario ends hold the populares, the standing-spirited home support that generates the wall of noise for River. A new low pitch-level ring, added when the running track was removed, puts front rows closer than ever. It is the home of River Plate and a frequent host of the Argentina national team and huge concerts.
The Estadio Más Monumental, officially Estadio Antonio Vespucio Liberti, is River Plate's giant stadium in the Núñez/Belgrano area of Buenos Aires, opened in 1938 and now the largest stadium in Argentina. A recent renovation removed the athletics track and added a new pitch-level ring, bringing capacity to around 85,000, with a further expansion toward roughly 101,000 planned ahead of the 2030 World Cup.
