Estadio Jose Amalfitani, also known as “El Fortín de Liniers,” is one of the most distinctive football venues in western Buenos Aires. Opened in the early 1950s and later upgraded to meet major international requirements, the stadium stands out for its classic grandstand design and a capacity of around 49,540 seats, making it a strong match for high-profile fixtures and large-scale events.
Inside, the experience feels close to the action: the terraces and seating bowls are shaped for clear sightlines, and crowd noise can build into a powerful, stadium-wide roar. Visitors tend to appreciate the straightforward sector layout, practical concourse amenities, and easy access to food-and-drink stands and essential facilities—ideal for staying comfortable without missing the key moments.
The micro-location is easy to pinpoint: Av. Juan Bautista Justo 9200, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Many fans reach the gates with a short walk from Liniers railway station (Sarmiento line), while drivers typically rely on street parking in the surrounding blocks and main approach roads on the city’s western side—arriving early is recommended.
