Deserved renovation

The Jorge Mágico González stadium was renovated for the recent Central American and Caribbean Games. It can now accommodate up to 30,000 spectators, making it one of the largest stadiums in Central America. Originally opened in 1932, the stadium underwent renovation only once before, in 2002. It could host 32,000 people and served as the home stadium of Atlético Marte San Salvador.
