Estadio Pocitos was a multi-use stadium located in the Pocitos district of Montevideo, Uruguay. The stadium, owned by C.A. Peñarol, was mainly used for football matches from 1921 to 1933.[1] It was demolished later in the 1930s when Peñarol started to play in the Estadio Centenario as its home field, and additionally due to the increasing urbanisation of Montevideo.
The stadium was one of the venues of the first FIFA World Cup held in 1930, and site of the first goal in World Cup history, scored by France's player Lucien Laurent against Mexico.[2][3] The match was one of the two games that opened the World Cup, the other being held at the same time in Estadio Gran Parque Central.
This stadium was one of the first football stadiums to include elliptical stands, taken from the model of the ancient Greece theatre. It has been said that the Estadio Centenario was planned to be a "giant version" of this stadium. Pocitos Stadium was included in a German book of the 40 most influential stadiums in history.
