Location of the stadium in Bogotá |
The idea to build the stadium goes back to the then mayor of the city Jorge Eliécer Gaitán , who suggested in 1934 that a sports facility be built for the 400th anniversary of the city's foundation and the Bolivarian Games in 1938. Luis Camacho Matiz made the land available for the construction of the stadium. The stadium was named after his father, the politician and businessman Nemesio Camacho. The German architect Federico Leder Müller was commissioned to design the stadium.
The opening and the first game in the stadium with a capacity of 10,000 seats took place on August 10, 1938 between Colombia and Ecuador and ended 1: 2 for the guests. In 1948 the capacity was increased to 23,500 spectators. The next construction work was carried out from 1950 to 1951. The north and south stands were added to the stadium. On July 20, 1951, the reopening was celebrated with two international matches between Uruguay and Argentina and the encounter between Colombia and Paraguay . The first game under floodlights was played on November 29, 1967, Independiente Santa Fe and Czechoslovakia . In 1969, after a year of construction, the expansion of the sports facility to 62,500 seats and the erection of a display board were completed.
In 2000 the most extensive construction work to date for the 2001 Copa America was carried out. After that it held 46,018 spectators. From 2008, the stadium for the U-20 World Cup 2011 was adapted to the guidelines of FIFA and renewed. The budget was 18 billion Colombian pesos .
Events
In addition to the games of Millonarios FC (since 1938), Independiente Santa Fe (since 1951) and the Colombian national football team , qualifying tournaments for Olympic football tournaments were held in 1968, 1972 and 1980. The match for third place and the final of the 2001 Copa America took place in the Bogotá stadium; Furthermore, four games of the Copa America 1975 were played in "El Campín" . The Colombian clubs Atlético Nacional (1989), América de Cali (2000) and Boyacá Chicó FC (2008) used the venue for the Copa Libertadores three times because their other stadiums were under renovation or too small. The facility was the venue for the 2011 U-20 World Cup . On July 2, 1986, Pope John Paul II held a Holy Mass for the youth in the stadium.
