History

The National Stadium of Peru (Spanish: Estadio Nacional del Perú, pronounced [esˈtaðjo nasjoˈnal del peˈɾu]) is a multi-purpose stadium in Lima, Peru. Its current capacity is 40,272 seats as stated by the Peruvian Football Federation and Instituto Peruano del Deporte. An additional 3,509 spectators can be seated in the box suites that stand above the four main stands. However, government regulations limit ticket sales to 90% of the stadium's maximum capacity, reducing it in the stands to 36,244 and 3,158 in box suites.
