Nicaragua National Football Stadium
The Nicaragua National Football Stadium (Estadio Nacional de Fútbol) in
FIFA World Cup 2014 qualifying match, on September 6, 2011.[2]
Overview
Envisioned to be built as the most modern stadium in
locker rooms for teams and officials, and a main grandstand. Second and future stages include end zone stands (under construction) as well as a media center and press box.[3]
The national Football stadium is sometimes confused with the old National Stadium,
Estadio Dennis Martinez in central Managua. That stadium was built in 1948, primarily as a baseball stadium. And it was in fact a stadium used by the national team before the construction of the current stadium. Football
has a growing popularity among Nicaraguans and has forced its voice in securing a new stadium of its own.
