El Cilindro

About

El Cilindro, officially known as Estadio Presidente Perón, is an association football stadium in Avellaneda, Argentina. It is the home of Racing. Opened in 1950 on the site of the former stadium, it was designed by engineers from GEOPÉ, a subsidiary of the German firm Philipp Holzmann, known for rebuilding cities after World War II. Its original capacity of 120,000 was gradually reduced over the years due to renovations and safety regulations, and it is currently approved for 50,880 spectators.
