The Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes, formerly known as Chateau Carreras and Estadio Córdoba, is a stadium in the Chateau Carreras neighborhood of Córdoba, Argentina. Owned by the Córdoba Province, the venue is used mostly for association football and rugby union matches and also sometimes for athletics. The stadium was inaugurated in 1978 for the 1978 FIFA World Cup, with a capacity for 37,851 spectators although it does not provide seating for all of them, like many Argentine stadiums. Most football teams in Córdoba have their own stadiums but they usually prefer playing in this stadium for its size and comfort, especially when playing important games that attract big crowds.
