Key facts<\/h3>\n

Club: CA San Mart\u00edn de San Juan | Opening: 1951 | Capacity: 19,000<\/p>\n

History and description<\/h3>\n

Estadio Ingeniero Hilario S\u00e1nchez officially opened on 9 September 1951. Back then, it was just a small ground only consisting of wooden stands.<\/p>\n

Under the leaderschip of club President Hilario S\u00e1nchez in the 1970s and 1980s, San Mart\u00edn expanded as a club, which included the construction of new concrete stands.<\/p>\n

Hilario S\u00e1nchez died in 1987, and 6 months later the stadium was named in his honour, though it temporary changed names again between 1995 and 2006.<\/p>\n

When San Mart\u00edn promoted to the Primera Divsi\u00f3n in 2007, the stadium could hold just 12,000 people. In only one month, and in time before the start of the new season, a new terrace was built that could hold 8,000 fans. At the same time the other stands and interior of the stadium got extensively refurbished.<\/p>\n
