The stadium was one of the host venues for the 1962 FIFA World Cup, including the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
Its construction was inspired by the design of local topographical features, utilizing the side of a hill to form the stadium bowl.
The stadium is part of a larger complex known as the Sporting Club, which includes surrounding recreational areas and a horse racing track nearby.
It hosted the final of the 2015 Copa América Femenina.
The venue is named after the nearby Laguna Sausalito, an artificial reservoir located adjacent to the stadium grounds.
Estadio Sausalito is a historic multi-purpose stadium in Viña del Mar, primary home to the professional football club Everton de Viña del Mar. Originally opened in 1929, the stadium is situated on the banks of Laguna Sausalito. It underwent significant renovations in 2015 to modernize its infrastructure for the Copa América. The facility features a natural grass pitch and has a capacity of approximately 21,000 spectators. It serves as a regional hub for sports events and large-scale concerts in the Valparaíso region. The architecture integrates with the surrounding natural park environment, utilizing the natural slope of the hill for its terraced seating. It remains one of the most significant sporting venues in Chile, having hosted matches for the 1962 FIFA World Cup and the 2015 Copa América.
