Stadium
Club Sport Uruguay plays its home games at the El Labrador Municipal Stadium, which bears that name in honor of San Isidro Labrador, Patron Saint of the Cantón of Vázquez de Coronado.
The stadium is located about 250 meters south of the Church of San Isidro de Coronado (central district of the canton). It has a capacity for 2,500 seated people (approximately); its grass is synthetic with a striped design (it was the first with this design in Costa Rica) and has great drainage capacity.
It is municipal property and is under the administration of Club Sport Uruguay since 12/01/2014, thanks to an agreement signed between both parties.
On September 21, 2008, the team said goodbye to the stadium's natural grass, to make way for a high-quality synthetic grass. An eight-lane athletics track was also installed around the pitch and a gymnasium for club and public use. It is currently receiving other works in its infrastructure and has plenty of space around where it is planned to place more bleachers to increase its capacity.
