Estadio Saroldi (full name: Parque Federico Omar Saroldi) is a multi-use stadium in Montevideo, Uruguay. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 6,000 all seated.[1] The stadium may be extended up to 10,000 all seated, currently this decision is being discussed.
The stadium was named in memory of River Plate's goalkeeper Federico Omar Saroldi who was fatally injured during a match between his team and Central Español.
