Current stadium · Sporting CristalEstadio Alberto Gallardo

The Estadio Alberto Gallardo opened in 1961 on the banks of the Rímac river, in the district of San Martín de Porres, under the name Estadio San Martín de Porres. It is state-owned, and Sporting Cristal has used it as its home since the mid-1990s, when the club renovated it. In 2012 it took the name of Alberto Gallardo, the club's greatest idol, and its stands pay tribute to Roberto Palacios, Julio César Uribe and Alfredo Quesada. Today it holds 11,600 people, which is why Cristal plays its derbies and cup matches at the Estadio Nacional.
