The Estadio Olimpico Pascual Guerrero is a stadium in Santiago de Cali, Colombia which is named to honour the poet Pascual Guerrero. The stadium and the sports complex that surrounds it were, from the 1950s to the 1970s, one of the finest snd most modern sports complexes in Latin America, and lead to references of Cali as the "Sports Capital of America".
The "Pascual", as its inhabitants usually call their stadium, was near the now defunct Stadium Galilee in the Versailles neighbourhood, where the first national athletics competition was held in 1928. The Pascual is still an important venue for domestic and international sporting events.
The stadium's current seating capacity is 45,625. It is currently the home of América de Cali, and was the home of Deportivo Cali until 2007 when they moved into a new stadium, Estadio Deportivo Cali, becoming the first Colombian football team to own its own stadium.
Since summer 2011 Deportivo Cali plays here again.
