Venue

File:Estadio_Mateo_Flores_Guatemala.JPG

Both games were held in Estadio Mateo Flores in Guatemala City for economic reasons, after a proposal from Municipal to Independiente. As the match attracted more interest of Guatemalan fans than Argentine supporters, both teams agreed to play the series in Guatemala.

The stadium had been built in 1948, as part of the project to build a group of sports facilities known as Ciudad Olímpica. Originally named "Estadio Olímpico" erroneously, since it has never hosted an olympic competition, the stadium had been inaugurated on February 23, 1950, to host the VI Central American and Caribbean Games. Local long-distance runner Mateo Flores (born Doroteo Guamuch) won the half marathon event there, being also winner of the Boston Marathon in 1952. The stadium was later named after the athlete, died in 2011.[http://www.deportesanluis.com.ar/2020/10/16/la-tragedia-del-mateo-flores/ La tragedia del Mateo Flores][http://sa.miles33.com/GNWEB_SA/hemeroteca/trayectoria-de-mateo-flores Figuras olímpicas: Doroteo Guamuch] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210206152855/http://sa.miles33.com/GNWEB_SA/hemeroteca/trayectoria-de-mateo-flores |date=2021-02-06 }} on Hemeroteca Prensa Libre, 11 Aug 2016
