Estadio Sausalito ({{IPA|es|sawsaˈlito}}; Sausalito Stadium) is a multi-purpose stadium in Viña del Mar, Chile.

It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home ground of CD Everton. The stadium holds 22,360 people, was built in 1929 and completely renovated in 2015. The stadium has hosted the 1962 World Cup, two times the Copa América (1991 and 2015) and a FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The name comes from sister city Sausalito, California, who in turn renamed their main square for Viña del Mar in the 1960s.{{Cite web|last=|first=|title=Sausalito-Viña del Mar Program|url=https://sausalitosistercities.org/vina-del-mar-chile/|access-date=2021-02-28|website=Sausalito Sister Cities, Inc.|language=en-GB}}

History

It was built during Carlos Ibáñez del Campo government in 1929.

In 1960, the stadium was practically destroyed by the Valdivia earthquake, but the rapid reconstruction financed by the municipality did that the ground was chosen as one of the venues to hold the 1962 World Cup hosting all the games of the Group C as well as one during the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively.

In 1991, Sausalito returned to international football, after appearing as one of the four venues in the Copa América of that year, alongside Santiago, Valparaíso and Concepción.

In January 2004, a new electronic scoreboard was installed in the stadium as part of the requirements for hosting the Pre-Olympic Tournament of that year.{{cite news |title=Sausalito y Playa Ancha con marcadores electrónicos |trans-title=Sausalito and Playa Ancha with new electronic scoreboards. |url=https://www.estrellavalpo.cl/site/edic/20040110015808/pags/20040110021447.html |access-date=25 December 2020 |work=La Estrella de Valparaíso |date=10 January 2004 |language=es}}

On 19 July 2012, President of Chile Sebastián Piñera announced a reshuffle to the stadium to host the 2015 Copa América and the FIFA U-17 World Cup of the same year, which started during his government and finished few days before the Copa América during Michelle Bachelet government.

In July 2022, the venue was confirmed to host the men's football tournament at the 2023 Pan American Games.{{cite news |title=Así se jugará el fútbol en los Juegos Panamericanos Santiago 2023 |trans-title=This is how football will be played at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games |url=https://santiago2023.org/es/noticias/portada-sitio-web/detalle/522/asi-se-jugara-el-futbol-en-los-juegos-panamericanos-santiago-2023 |access-date=31 July 2022 |work=Santiago 2023 |date=20 July 2022 |language=es}}

In July 2024, it was confirmed as one of the 5 host venues for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup.{{cite news |title=Revelan las cinco sedes del Mundial Sub 20 en Chile |trans-title=The five venues for the U-20 World Cup in Chile are revealed |url=https://www.biobiochile.cl/noticias/deportes/futbol-internacional/notas-futbol-internacional/2024/07/27/revelan-las-cinco-sedes-del-mundial-sub-20-en-chile-rancagua-ya-fue-oficializada-por-autoridades.shtml |access-date=29 July 2024 |work=Bio Bio Chile |date=27 July 2024 |language=Spanish}}
