Antonio Maceo Stadium

The Estadio Antonio Maceo is a significant sports venue located in Santiago de Cuba, the island's second-largest city. The stadium is named after the legendary General Antonio Maceo, one of the most prominent figures in the 19th-century Cuban struggle for independence. In recent years, the facility has gained national prominence following a 2021 modernization that included the installation of high-quality artificial turf meeting international standards. It serves as the home ground for Santiago de Cuba FC, one of the country's most successful football clubs. In addition to football matches, the stadium is used for track and field competitions and large-scale cultural events. With a capacity of approximately 5,000 spectators, it features an intense atmosphere and serves as a key gathering spot for sports fans in eastern Cuba. Its modernization has enabled the venue to host official international matches for the Cuban national team within CONCACAF competitions.
