Estadio Municipal "Zorros del Desierto" de Calama (Spanish pronunciation: [esˈtaðjo ˈθoros ðel deˈsjeɾto] ) is a football stadium in Calama, Chile owned by the Municipality of Calama, it is the home field of the Cobreloa football team and sometimes used by Chile national football team to serve as home ground.[13] This stadium was used like homeground of Deportes Iquique on Copa Libertadores 2017[14] and Cobresal in Copa Libertadores 2024.[15] This is the Fifteenth largest stadium in Chile by Capacity on 2024.
Built in 1952 by the Abaroa family to provide sports facilities for the city, it was demolished in 2013 and opened in 2015, it replaced the old Estadio Municipal de Calama. The stadium seats 12,346 people and includes zones for disabled people. The Stadium was built to FIFA Standards and logistics.[16]
This stadium was cited as one of the best in the world in 2015 by the Database of Stadiums page.[17] The stadium was considered the smallest and least expensive among the participants. It finished in 19th place with 14,837 points.[18]
The former mayor of Calama, Esteban Velasquez, said that the maintenance costs are 300 million CLP, mainly directed to the maintenance of the court, dependencies and officials working in the enclosure. It is fully funded by the Municipality. Cobreloa paid a commission to the Municipality of around 800.000 CLP per month to help in maintenance of the stadium through May 2016.[19]
Name
[edit]The first stadium name proposal was to honour former Cobreloa player Fernando Cornejo, who died in 2009. It became the name of the stadium project in 2010. However, this project name was not given to the stadium.[20]
In April 2014, in a reunion between local authorities, it was decided that the name would be chosen by Calama mayor, Esteban Velazquez, and the Consejo de Sociedad Civil (Cososi). The proposed alternatives were: Arena, Pucará, Vicente Cantatore, Mario Lira and Fernando Cornejo.[21]

Ultimately, the name was decided through voting, through a campaign called "Ponle nombre al Municipal de Calama". With a video titled 'Corporación de Cultura y Turismo de Calama', the municipality invited the community of Calama, Chile to propose names. Initially seven names were proposed, but the registration period was extended in September 2014.[24] Eventually 4,721 voters chose among 14 proposals. The winner was the 'Zorros del Desierto' option, with 1,088 votes. The second, the third and the fourth place were used to name different areas of the stadium. The Mario Lira Option was named the media cabines.[25]
History
[edit]Estadio Municipal de Calama
[edit]Estadio Municipal de Calama was a multi-use stadium in Calama, used mostly for football matches and it was the home stadium of Cobreloa until 2012. The stadium held 13,000 people (seating capacity),[26] it was built in 1952 and was demolished in 2013, to be replaced with the new stadium.
Proposal
[edit]A new stadium in Calama was first suggested in 2007, when architect, Andrés Valle, made a model of the project; it was well received by the authorities. This showed that the community and the private sector had interest in a new venue.[27] In 2008, Cobreloa representative Gerardo Mella proposed the project to authorities of Calama. With the consultation of the company Alberto Saltori y Asociados, Cobreloa would dedicate CLP 35 to 40 million to this project.[28]
In 2009, Chilean, President Michelle Bachelet announced the inclusion of Calama in the third phase of the 'Estadios Bicentenario' projects.[29] Representative Marcos Espinoza had referred to the project financing with an amount of CLP 300 million, either for a renovation or a new structure.[30]
In 2010, parliamentarian Marcos Espinoza announced to the media the possibility that this project would be not included in the 2011 budget.[31] In 2011, Chilean President Sebastián Piñera announced that $170 million U.S. dollars was to be invested in improving the infrastructure of Chile's stadiums through the 'Chilestadios' project, in which the Estadio Municipal de Calama was included.[32]
The ultimate project was shown to Calama mayor, Estebán Velásquez Nuñez, in 2012. In this phase of the project the Consejo Regional was decided as the amounts would be distributed. The Instituto Nacional del Deporte (IND) allocated CLP 5,000 million to the project. The technical team of the municipality of Calama led by Gloria Aliaga was in charge of different project phases.[33]
"Era impensado no tener un estadio en Calama y hoy día el trabajo que hemos desarrollado en la Municipalidad ha dado sus frutos"
"It was unthinkable not to have a stadium in Calama and today the work we have developed in the Municipality has paid off"
Estebán Velásquez Nuñez
The municipality of Calama had to deposit the project to the Banco Integrado de 'Proyectos del Ministerio de Planificación Social'. The resource allocation of the 'Fondo Regional of Desarrollo Social' was subtracted by the 'Consejo Regional' of Antofagasta Region to enter the tendering.
The proposal was for a concrete structure with 12,000 individual seats, including a place for disabled people. The project had 4 floors, with dressing room for the players and referees, hygienic services, snack hall, media area, first aid hall and LED screen. The field dimensions were 105 x 68 meters with natural grass. The design was inspired by the aging copper bars in order to provide identification to the community in the area.[34]
In 2012 non-compliance to bidding rules delayed construction, which is why the 'Instituto Nacional del Deporte' had to seek alternatives to avoid altering the route of the process.[35]
Construction
[edit]The project was awarded to Spanish company Isolux Corsan on January 30, 2013. The dismantling works started the same day with the removal of stadium light bulbs.[36] The last game in the old venue was held in the old stadium was against Deportes Iquique, on February 3, 2013. In April of this year, the 'Instituto Nacional del Deporte' and the 'Gobierno Regional' increased project financing to CLP 12,000 million approximately.[37]
By November 2013, progress reached only 40%. The revised completion date was the end of the first quarter of 2014.[38]
2014
[edit]In April progress reached 85% and regional governor Valentín Volta said the stadium would finish in the second half of the year.[39]
In May salaries to company employees went unpaid over delays.[40] In July payments to workers of Isolux – Corsan were delayed.[41] for September, it was announced that the new stadium it will be opened in November this year, due to delays in municipal delivery of this.[42] Due to delays and a failure to cover outstanding debts to its subcontractors, Isolux-Corsan ran into difficulties.[43] The new completion date was early 2015.[44]
Then-Chile National Football coach, Jorge Sampaoli, had planned to use the stadium for matches with Brazil and Argentina in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.[45]
2015
[edit]In February 2015 delays came over the bathrooms, which were not complete.[46] The opening date of the stadium was April 18.[47]
The 'Instituto Nacional del Deporte' donated an amount greater than CLP 200 million to finish the work. This money was given for improved protection bars, ticket offices, bathrooms, illuminations, boilers and elevator. These improvements were to finish in 2016.[48]
