I'm not Bolivian but here are few interesting facts about Bolivian stadiums: - The Palmaflor team is owned by the former president of Bolivia, Evo Morales. It is the best stadium in the country but it is in a sports complex in the middle of nowhere and the club has no fans. It is a good way to launder money and make it seem that your sports work was good and justified. - In the stadium of El Alto, a referee collapsed and passed away due to a cardiovascular issue, some people say that, allegedly, this was because of the elevation the stadium is situated on. - The Strongest club has an own stadium on a cool neighborhood in La Paz but is not big enough to host important games because of its capacity - Bolívar (the other club that plays in La Paz) is owned by the Manchester City group and they are building the best stadium in the country I'm going to comment some facts in the Ecuadorian and Colombian stadiums video also
Bolívar technically isn't owned by the City group, it is "affiliated" with them however. Marcelo Claure, the owner of the team, owns shares in the City Group and co-owns Girona FC with them, hence the link. You are totally right about Palmaflor, it is narco money laundering operation in full scale. Also, Evo built stadiums like crazy all throughout Bolivia during his three terms. While he was in office the stadium construction budget was more than twice the healthcare budget. He built literally dozens of stadiums, but most were so utterly unnecessary (he built many in rural towns with fewer people than the stadium itself holds) or badly built (there is a semi-abandoned second stadium in the city of Cochabamba with a pitch that is concrete with a green carpet laid over that is too dangerous to actually use) that they didn't get use. Only three of the 15 or so stadiums are in use, the one in El Alto, the one in the Tropico (Palmaflor uses it since Evo himself move the team there) and the one in Quillacollo which has sections closed off due to it being structurally unsound (players despise it too, the turf is horrendous).
Wow! Since moving here I've been waiting on this video. Thanks for making it. Been to several of these stadiums, most are pretty decent. The altitude of most of the stadiums (All but the Amazonic stadiums) is wild. I imagine interior photos were hard to get but several stadiums have great inside views of surrounding mountains.
One little nitpick, Universitario de Vinto actually plays most matches in another stadium. They play in Estadio Municipal de Quillacollo, about 14km from the stadium in Cocha city center. Quillacollo is a neighboring municipality to the city of Cochabamba, it is a suburb basically. That stadium is truly awful, sections are closed off due to structural issues (despite being opened only in 2009 and "repaired" in 2022). Players also complain about the horrendous condition of the field. U de Vinto only plays in the Felix Capriles when they have "big" matches, mainly against Wilstermann, Aurora (the two Cochabamba city clubs) and Bolívar (the most popular team in the country) due to the increased capacity. They don't really have any fans, they came out of nowhere (along with Evo's Palmaflor, which also originated in Vinto) a few years ago and seem to have huge sums of money no one can explain....
@silasbruno10 Yes but I have no chance of speaking that. Figured you might know spanish. As I can read your Portuguese as an elementary Spanish speaker.
what stadium is that at 3:07? I would have thought Turf Moor was the highest elevation in the Premier league but that's not it. And I don't recognize that stadium.
That Minibus driver wasn"t messing about at the end!

Thanks for your info, I am living next to the stadium of The Strongest and I don’t even know that they play in two different stadiums 😂

Brilliant and Hilarious as always my friend 👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
The best stadium looks like an African national stadium
Just seeing this video takes my breath out
Nice upgrade on the audio quality, kudos for that
Estadio Bicentenario will be my favourite!

Can you do Tennessee high school football stadiums
Can you do ECHL arenas? I would ask on a hockey video but you haven't done them in a long time
Ahh Bolivian stadiums, get your oxygen tubes ready
The Strongest have a great home record as their ground is miles above sea level which makes it harder to away sides.
You should do one for the NCAA FBS Independents!
I laughed at Matthew Scientology
O estádio Hernando Siles é o mais importante da Bolívia. Na LIBERATDORES é estádio que mais recebeu jogos de clubes bolivianos
Hola de Tejas. Su estadio es muy guapo. Tenemos estadios mas grande, pero no tienen historia. Ok that's all I remember from spanish class.

Nascar oval stadiums/tracks
Pls do Süper Lig

That's The Hawthorns (West Brom), not of course a Premier League ground but it is the highest ground in the top four tiers of English football.
@@mikenorman2525 thank you now I recognize it once you told me! I didn't realize it was the highest thank you for your response.
“Always Ready” ffs… turning in my grave etc…
ironically, maybe. the strongest fc is the top of the table at this time by a good amount.
Thai League ... Next
Guatemala next
beatch soccer is the best in bolivia
Bolivia solo envía a 11 deportistas a las olimpiadas, pero siguen construyendo estadios con pista atlética olímpica , muy innecesarias.
This league is the most corrupt league in the world if you want to back an underdog do it in this league
No football stadium should have a running track .
