EL ESTADIO MONUMENTAL BANCO PICHINCHA

AIR-EC-1970

Estadio Monumental Banco Pichincha (legally Estadio Isidro Romero Carbo) is a football stadium located in the parish of Tarqui in northern Guayaquil, Ecuador. The stadium is the home to Ecuadorian football club Barcelona.

The stadium was inaugurated on December 27, 1987. The first game was played against Barcelona FC of Spain, which Barcelona SC won 1-0. Barcelona invited many South American football celebrities, such as Pelé, to the inauguration. Pelé was so astonished, he compared the stadium to the famous Maracanã in Rio de Janeiro.

In January 2, 2008, president of Barcelona Eduardo Maruri signed a 4-year contract with Ecuadorian bank Banco Pichincha to have the stadium named after the bank. The legal name will remain as Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo.
