Estadio Pocitos was a football stadium situated in the Pocitos neighborhood of Montevideo, Uruguay. Constructed in the early 20th century, the venue served as a home ground for several local clubs and hosted matches of the Uruguay national football team during its early development. The stadium featured a grass playing surface and a modest spectator capacity typical of the period’s municipal sports facilities.
The stadium was located near the coastline of the Río de la Plata, providing easy access for residents of the Pocitos district. Throughout its operational years, Estadio Pocitos was used for domestic league fixtures, cup competitions, and occasional international friendlies. It played a role in the growth of football in Uruguay, contributing to the sport’s popularity leading up to the nation’s successes in the 1924 and 1928 Olympic Games and the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930.
By the mid‑20th century, newer, larger venues such as Estadio Centenario superseded Estadio Pocitos for major events. The stadium was eventually closed and demolished, and the site was redeveloped for residential and commercial purposes. No substantial remnants of the original structure remain.
