Stadium History
Estadio Monumental, the home of River Plate, was constructed after the club acquired land in the Nuñez district in 1934, with construction starting in 1936 and finishing in 1938. It was inaugurated on May 25, 1938, with a match between River Plate and Peñarol, initially accommodating 120,000 people. The stadium underwent expansions and renovations over the years, including in preparation for the 1978 World Cup, increasing its capacity to 130,000 spectators.
Between 2020 and 2021, the stadium underwent significant renovations, including the removal of the running track and the lowering of the field to allow for new seating closer to the pitch. In 2022, a new expansion began to increase the capacity to 84,567 spectators, making it the largest stadium in South America. The stadium was also renamed Mâs Monumental after selling the naming rights.
