Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: Alianza FC & CD Atl\u00e9tico Marte | Opening: 1976 | Capacity: 32,000 seats<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

Estadio Cuscatl\u00e1n, often referred to as El Coloso de Monserrat, officially opened on 24 July 1976 with a friendly match between the El Salvador national team and German side Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach (2-0).<\/p>\n

The stadium twice underwent small refurbishments, the first in 1997 and a second in 2007, which included the installation of proper seats, a video board, and a sound system.<\/p>\n

Estadio Cuscatlan is privately owned and can be rented by any association or club. It is the standard\u00a0playing venue of the El Salvador national team, home of Alianza FC and Atletico Marte, and used by other clubs for high-profile matches.<\/p>\n

The stadium could initially hold 54,000 spectators, but FIFA requirements have reduced this to its current amount of 32,000. Capacity was recently further reduced to 28,000 for the 2014 World Cup qualification matches.<\/p>\n
