Estadio Departamental Libertad is a multi-purpose stadium in Pasto, Colombia. It is used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of Deportivo Pasto. The stadium holds 18,000 people and was built in 1955.{{cite web|url=http://www.worldstadiums.com/south_america/countries/colombia.shtml|title=Stadiums in Colombia|publisher=Worldstadiums.com|access-date=22 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100131030948/http://www.worldstadiums.com/south_america/countries/colombia.shtml|archive-date=31 January 2010|url-status=dead}}

In 2007 Pasto qualified for the Copa Libertadores, so the stadium was expanded to fit CONMEBOL requirements. The north stand was expanded, which completed the bowl of the stadium and made every side two tiers since before the renovation the north side was semi-open and had only one tier.{{Cite web|date=6 March 2013|title=El estadio Libertad, de Pasto, será remodelado|url=https://www.goal.com/es-co/news/4565/liga-%C3%A1guila/2013/03/06/3803207/el-estadio-libertad-de-pasto-ser%C3%A1-remodelado|access-date=|website=Goal.com}}

In 2019, the seating rows were painted, the lighting was upgraded, the changing rooms were renovated, and a large TV screen was installed. Around $20 million COP were spent in the renovations, which ended in December 2019.{{Cite web|date=25 April 2019|title=Avanzan obras del Estadio Departamental Libertad|url=https://pagina10.com/web/avanzan-obras-del-estadio-departamental-libertad/|access-date=|website=Página10 - Periódico Regional|language=es}}{{Cite web|date=2019-11-21|title=Estadio de categoría internacional; Pasto presentó su nueva casa para 2020|url=https://www.antena2.com/futbol/liga-aguila/estadio-de-categoria-internacional-pasto-presento-su-nueva-casa-para-2020|access-date=2021-10-10|website=Antena 2|language=es}}
