The stadium is named after Adelfo Magallanes, a legendary Peruvian footballer who played for Universitario de Deportes and the national team in the 1930s.
It is situated on the edge of the Costa Verde cliffs, making it one of the few urban stadiums in Lima with a direct coastal breeze and proximity to the ocean.
The pitch underwent significant renovations in recent years to replace older surfaces with modern artificial turf to accommodate high-frequency community use.
The venue serves as the primary ground for the local 'Copa Perú' district qualifying matches.
Estadio Adelfo Magallanes is a public multi-purpose sports facility located in the San Miguel district of Lima, bordering the San Isidro area. The venue features an artificial turf pitch primarily utilized by local amateur football leagues and neighborhood athletic programs. Its location along the Avenida Costanera provides direct views of the Pacific Ocean and the cliffs of the Costa Verde. The facility is managed by the San Miguel municipal government and serves as a central hub for district-level sporting events and recreational gatherings. The stadium infrastructure includes basic bleacher seating and standard stadium lighting for evening activities.
The top of the spectator stands facing west toward the ocean during the golden hour provides a backdrop of the Pacific coastline.
Bring a windbreaker as the coastal location causes the temperature to drop significantly once the sun goes down.
Check local community social media pages for match schedules, as public access to the field is restricted during organized games.
Visit during the late afternoon to experience the unique combination of a sports match and an ocean-view sunset.
Do not attempt to access the pitch during ongoing organized matches or training sessions without authorization.
Frequently closed to the general public during private tournament events or official municipal sports programs.
Standard sportswear is expected; spectators should be respectful during community events and refrain from entering the pitch area.
