match between
Argentina and
Jamaica on 20 June. It was built during
Carlos Ibáñez del Campo's first government in 1929. In 1960, the stadium was practically destroyed by the
Valdivia earthquake, but the rapid reconstruction financed by the municipality did that the ground was chosen as one of the venues to hold the
1962 World Cup hosting all the games of the Group C as well as one during the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively. In 1991,
Sausalito returned to international football, after appearing as one of the four venues in the
Copa América of that year, alongside
Santiago,
Valparaíso and
Concepción. In January 2004, a new electronic scoreboard was installed in the stadium as part of the requirements for hosting the
Pre-Olympic Tournament of that year. On 19 July 2012,
President of Chile Sebastián Piñera announced a reshuffle to the stadium to host the
2015 Copa América and the
FIFA U-17 World Cup of the same year, which started during his government and finished few days before the Copa América during
Michelle Bachelet government. In July 2022, the venue was confirmed to host the men's football tournament at the
2023 Pan American Games. In July 2024, it was confirmed as one of the 5 host venues for the
2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup. ==International matches==
