History and description

The stadium has a capacity of over forty thousand people and is located in the Miraflores district of Lima. The Estadio Alejandro Villanueva, also referred to as Estadio Matute and initially called Estadio Alianza Lima, was built in the 1970s to provide Alianza Lima with a new home. The stadium has a capacity of over forty thousand people and is located in the Miraflores district of Lima. Alianza was granted the site of the stadium in 1951, but it took until 1969 for first construction works to start. Construction work on the stadium lasted five years due to financial difficulties.

The Estadio Alianza Lima officially opened on December 27, 1974 with a match between Alianza and Nacional de Uruguay as part of a four-team tournament. At the time, the stadium could hold 35,000 spectators.

In 2000, the stadium was renamed Estadio Alejandro Villanueva in honor of the striker who played for Alianza and Peru in the 1920s and 1930s.

Over the years, the stadium regularly hosted friendly matches of the Peruvian national team, though qualifiers were usually played at the nearby Estadio Nacional.

In 2010, the plastic seats got replaced by wooden benches, but "Mamute? has remained a fairly basic ground. Alianza is therefore currently exploring options to modernize and expand the stadium, which ranges from a small upgrade of the stadium to 40,000 spectators to grand plans for a new arena that can hold 60,000 people.

How to get to Estadio Alejandro Villanueva

The Alejandro Villanueva stadium is located centrally in Lima, just south of the historic centre and east of the large Paseo de la Republica avenue that runs from the historic centre to the well-off Miraflores area. The stadium is located furthermore close to Estadio Nacional, which is situated on the Paseo de la Republica directly west of Estadio Alejandro Villanueva.

It is not one of Lima's best neighbourhoods so it is best to take a taxi instead of walking around. An alternative is to use the new Metropolitano fixed-lane bus line that runs along the Paseo de la Republica. The nearest station is Estadio Nacional next to the national stadium. It is a straightforward 15-minute walk from there to the stadium.

The Metropolitan Railway runs through many of Lima's popular neighborhoods, including Barranco and Miraflores in the south, and the historic center towards the north. Make sure to catch a line that stops at Estadio Nacional (e.g. B, C, and 1) as not all lines do.

You may inquire locally about bus options that run closer to Estadio Alejandro Villanueva.
