About this venue
Campeón del Siglo is a modern stadium built as the home of Club Atlético Peñarol and one of Montevideo’s most recognisable event venues. With a capacity of around 40,000, it’s designed for big matchdays and large-scale events, combining clear sightlines with an intense “close-to-the-pitch” feel.
Inside, the experience is all about atmosphere and comfort: stands sit close to the action, the crowd sound carries strongly, and the layout handles large flows of visitors efficiently. Fans also appreciate practical amenities such as food and drink points, well-distributed entrances, large screens, and club areas that add value beyond the main event.
You’ll find the stadium at Cam. Mangangá 11600, Montevideo, Uruguay, on Route 102, between Camino Mangangá and Camino de los Siete Cerros. On event days, follow the on-site signage to parking areas along Camino Mangangá and Camino de los Siete Cerros, then walk to the nearest entrance.

About the city
Montevideo, Uruguay’s lively capital on the shores of the Río de la Plata, is not only a political and cultural hub, but also one of South America’s most appealing destinations for top-tier events and unforgettable nights out. The city blends a relaxed seaside rhythm with the energy of major happenings, so a concert or a sporting spectacle easily becomes a complete city break. With varied gastronomy and a solid range of accommodation—from central hotels to practical options in quieter neighborhoods—visitors often highlight the welcoming atmosphere and how easy it is to get around.
For arrival and getting around, Montevideo is supported by well-organized public transport, including STM (Sistema de Transporte Metropolitano), which integrates city and metropolitan services into a single system. If you travel by coach, Terminal Tres Cruces is the key hub for national and international routes, while for flights the main gateway is Aeropuerto Internacional de Carrasco/General Cesáreo L. Berisso (MVD). Thanks to clear traffic corridors and accessible connections, reaching the main arenas and stadiums is straightforward, whether you use public transport or your own car—so you can plan your night without unnecessary stress.
When you are not rushing to the gates, Montevideo is best enjoyed at a slower pace: stroll through the historic Ciudad Vieja and feel the charm of the old town, stop by Plaza Independencia as a natural link between the busy downtown and the historic core, or find a calmer moment at Plaza Matriz amid classic façades and everyday city life. For a taste of local flavor and a social buzz, Mercado del Puerto is an excellent choice, and a walk along the Rambla de Montevideo offers wide coastal views and an ideal way to round off the evening before or after the event.
