Estadio Hernando Siles, La Paz, Bolivia
La Paz Olympic Stadium Estadio Hernando Siles is Bolivia’s largest sports complex. It has a capacity of 42.000 seated spectators and is named after Hernando Siles Reyes, the 31st President of Bolivia 1926-1930.
The stadium is located in the Miraflores borough of La Paz, at an altitude of 3,637 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest professional stadiums in the world. Soccer’s governing body, FIFA accepts the stadium as an international venue despite protests from visiting teams that the altitude gives the Bolivian national team an unfair advantage against opponents who only have a few days to acclimatise before playing.
It is the home ground of three Bolivian league football clubs, Club Bolivar,The Strongest and La Paz FC
