Location of the stadium in Huila

The Estadio Guillermo Plazas Alcid was built on the initiative of the then Mayor of Neiva, Guillermo Plazas Alcid . It was completed in 1980 on the occasion of the Juegos Nacionales and named after its initiator. In the 1990s it was expanded to include an east stand.

The stadium has been extensively modernized since 2014. On August 19, 2016, there was an accident on the stadium construction site. When part of the west stand collapsed, four people died and ten others were injured. The builders were inside when the tier collapsed. They were trapped under concrete and bars and were unable to free themselves. The rescue workers were able to save ten people from the rubble. The day before, the planning officer Simon Gaviria visited the construction site together with the governor of Huila, Carlos Julio González Villa, and Neiva's mayor Rodrigo Lara Sanchez to get an idea of ​​the work. In January 2018, DIMAYOR Atlético Huila banned the use of the stadium for football matches in the first division as long as the required standards were not met. A short time later, Atlético Huila was able to return after the most important security-related changes had been made.
