 Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa by b1bob Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa is a multi-use stadium in Quito, Ecuador built in 1951. It is currently used mostly for football matches. It is also used, from time to time, as a field for track events and a venue for musical performances. If Quito gets the Olympics one day, you might see the opening and closing ceremonies (as well as most track events) here. The stadium has a capacity of 40000. The home team, Club Deportivo El Nacional, and Universidad Catolica use the facility for their home games. Right here, Ecuador has won many key victories sometimes against the odds, securing their positions in JWorld Cup competition in 2002 and 2006. During the qualifying for Germany 2006, the home team successfully qualified and remained undefeated here. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingAddress: Av. 6 de diciembre y Naciones Unidas

 Ecuador v. Paraguay by tejanasueca If you happen to be in town when the Ecuadorean national selection plays, it is definitley worth going to a game. I went to a World Cup Qualifyin game agains Paraguay and it was awsome! The national team's games are played at the Olympic Stadium (located next to Quicentro on the corner of 6 de deciembre and Naciones Unidas). The price ranges from $10-20, depending on when you buy the ticket. You can usually buy the ticket outside of the stadium starting a few days before the game (the closer to kick off, the cheaper, however, you may run the risk that they run out). Only buy from the designated people: fake tickets are common. Get to the stadium early (2-3hr before kick off) if you want good seats as they are not numbered. Bring a boxed lunch and spend these hours learning the Ecudorian fans cheers! The most popular cheer goes like this: VAMOS ECUADORIANOS, ESTA TARDE/NOCHE, TENEMOS QUE GANAR!"
A boxed lunch, a rain poncho, sunscreen, a good mood! Leave a Comment Theme: Sports WatchingDirections: 6 de deciembre y Naciones Unidas (next to Quicentro)

by CaptainAmerica Walking down (and up) the streets of Quito the first day after your arrival is sport, believe me, due to the altitude. After a few days you get used to it... more or less... Leave a Comment Theme: Climbing

Club Deportivo El Nacional (usually just called "El Nacional") is a local professional soccer team that plays in the stadium pictured here, Estadio Olimpico Atahualpa, which is located at 2800 meters above sea level. The team is one of the most successful local teams with a total of thirteen championships. The other local teams are Sociedad Deportiva Aucas from the south of the city, and Liga Deportiva Universitaria (known as just "Liga") and the Sociedad Deportivo Quito. From what I gathered, most people seem to root for either El Nacional or Liga and like in all of Latin America, soccer is the king of sports. Leave a Comment Theme: Sports Watching
