About Estadio IV Centenario
Estadio IV Centenario is a sports stadium in Tarija, Bolivia, used mainly for football and also as the city’s principal athletics venue. Its listed elevation is 1,866 metres above sea level, and its inauguration date is January 11, 1950. The stadium reference page names architect Benito Llave and structural engineer Aída Baltazar.
Football clubs Unión Central and Real Tomayapo are among the teams that play home matches here. The venue has also hosted international youth football: in 2013, it held Group A matches of the sixth South American Under-15 Football Championship.
The stadium has undergone refurbishment and modernization over time. A project described as taking place in 2013–2014 included a new playing surface, painted stands, improved changing rooms and an international-standard tartan athletics track. The Government of Tarija has also undertaken modernization projects, including a 2019 project with stadium lighting and an electronic scoreboard.
Published capacity figures differ: one reference lists 15,000, while another source gives a nominal capacity of 23,000. Treat those as reported figures rather than a guarantee of seating available for a particular event; the number admitted and the sections in use can depend on the match.
Finding the Stadium in Tarija
The stadium’s listed location is Tarija, Bolivia, at coordinates 21°31′56″S, 64°43′28″W. From Terravina Hotel del Vino, it is about an 8-minute walk on the supplied route, so you can plan to reach the venue on foot from there.
No street address or turn-by-turn approach is included in the available information. Use the coordinates to identify the location, then confirm your entrance and route against the directions provided for your event. Tarija’s Casa Dorada is another landmark to include in a city visit; see this guide to Casa Dorada in Tarija.
Events and Match-Day Access
Football is the stadium’s main use, with athletics also part of its role. Its history includes both club fixtures and an international youth tournament, but the available information does not establish a regular events calendar. Check the event organizer’s announcements for the fixture schedule and any changes to access arrangements.
Gate use has varied by event. A report about past matches described plans to open eight of the stadium’s ten entrance gates, after earlier matches had used four. That is not a standing entry arrangement, so follow the instructions for the event you plan to attend rather than assuming a particular gate will be open.
The Government of Tarija has reported work to modernize the stadium, including efforts involving the playing surface. Historical reports also described work on the stands and facilities. These accounts provide background, not confirmation of the venue’s current condition or which areas will be open at your event.
Tickets, Entry Rules and Facilities
No standing ticket prices, general entry rules or current facility details are available here. Ticket sales and seating arrangements can be set separately for each event. Before buying, confirm the authorized seller, the available seating sections, the entry gate and any accessibility arrangements with the event organizer.
Past modernization projects included lighting and an electronic scoreboard, while the earlier refurbishment described improvements to changing rooms and the athletics track. Those historical details do not establish which services or facilities are currently available to spectators. For a particular match, use the organizer’s latest practical information for ticket collection, seating and entry.
Getting to and from the Stadium
The supplied route information supports walking from Terravina Hotel del Vino, but it does not give public-transport routes, parking details or journey times from other parts of Tarija. If you are arriving by air, read this guide to getting from Tarija Airport to the city while planning the onward journey.
You can pair a stadium visit with a look around Tarija, including Casa Dorada, but the information here does not give a route or travel time between the two. Check the location and opening details for any other stop separately before you set out.
