About the stadium

The home of River Plate and the largest stadium in Argentina, El Monumental has loomed over the Núñez district since 1938. It was designed under club president Antonio Vespucio Liberti, whose name it now carries, and conceived from the start as a "monumental" ground built to host the biggest moments of Argentine football. Expanded for the 1978 World Cup, it remains the stadium where Argentina won its first world title, beating the Netherlands amid a deafening roar that has gone down in history.

Its capacity was recently raised past 80,000, and its oval is now given over entirely to football. The Monumental is the home ground of the Argentine national team, but above all of River Plate. The highlight is the Superclásico against Boca Juniors, regarded as the biggest derby in world football.

The complex includes a thorough museum that walks visitors through the club's history: a 360º audiovisual show, trophies, the stories of its great campaigns, and photos of the legends who wore the red-sashed shirt. Guided tours take you into the stands, the dressing rooms, and pitchside, where some of the biggest names in world football once stepped, from Pelé to Maradona.

Easy to reach from Palermo, Belgrano, or Recoleta, the Monumental is an almost obvious stop if you're passing through Buenos Aires. Whether for a match or just a stadium tour, this is where you come to feel the soul of Argentine football up close.

It is a very nice museum. I like that they don't just see it as a football museum but also give a dive into the decades they won thier trophies on a cultural level. The only pity for me was that all of it was in Spanish. Of course that is their right being in Argentina, but it made the museum a bit l ess enjoyable for me, as I don't speak the language sadly.

Well organized museum for an iconic stadium and football team: River Plate. The ticket is easy to buy and I strongly recommend the set with stadium tour included. Overall experience is 2.5 hours and you will feel immersed in history and traditions. Football is more than a sport at this latitude!

Me and 85,000 other people descended on River Plate Stadium to see Kendrick Lamar and spent less than 3 minutes in line. RPS was ready for us! Well done!

Very nice museum, I recommend getting the full tour - you can also visit the stadium itself, quite an impressive arena.

The most incredible sports museum in the world. Been a fan since birth so this place gives me chills, tears, and endless joy. The amount and quality of the artifacts is impressive and you'll not only learn about River Plate but the history of fútbol and Argentina. Absolutely amazing 😍
