The '''José Amalfitani Stadium''' (also known as '''El Fortín de Liniers''' or '''Estadio Vélez Sarsfield''') is a [[association football|football]] [[stadium]] located in the [[Liniers]] neighborhood of [[Buenos Aires]], [[Argentina]], near [[Liniers railway station]].<ref name=cavs/> The venue is the home of the [[Argentine Primera División]] club [[Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield|Vélez Sarsfield]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://int.soccerway.com/venues/argentina/estado-jose-amalfitani/|title=ESTADIO JOSÉ AMALFITANI|work=Soccerway|publisher=Global Sports Media|access-date=19 November 2012}}</ref> The stadium was named after [[José Amalfitani]], who was president of Vélez Sarsfield for 30 years.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/deportes/8-137905-2010-01-02.html |title=Cien años de un club que se hizo grande |author=Daniel Guiñazú |newspaper=[[Página/12]] |language=es |date=2010-01-02 |access-date=2010-10-16 }}</ref>

The original, temporary stadium was built between 1941 and 1943 in wood, and the current facility was built in cement between 1947 and 1951.<ref name=cavs/> It was renovated and enlarged 26 years later in preparation for the [[1978 FIFA World Cup]]. The stadium has a capacity of 49,540 spectators, although it does not provide seating for all of them like most Argentine stadia.

The Estadio José Amalfitani is also the [[national stadium]] for the [[Argentina national rugby union team]] (''Los Pumas''). Although the team plays test matches throughout the country, their highest-profile tests (such as against the New Zealand All Blacks) are usually held here. The [[Jaguares (Super Rugby)|Jaguares]], a team that participated in the [[Super Rugby]] league from 2016 to 2020, played its home games at the stadium.

==History==
=== Predecessors ===
[[File:Velez stadium 1922.jpg|thumb|left|View of the first seating area and club house, 1922]]
During its first years of existence, Vélez Sarsfield football team played its games in vacant lands of the neighborhood, with removable goal posts. In 1913 the [[Argentine Football Association]] ordered the club to host its home games at a bigger stadium so the club moved to the Juan Martín Figallo's (a neighbor) country house on Rodó and Escalada streets. Figallo rented the club part of his land.

In 1914, the club called an assembly to discuss the possibility to rent lands on better places. The club got a land behind Villa Luro station, between Cortina and Bacacay streets. But the definitive stadium would be built in 1922, when the club rented a land to López Bancalari Brothers on Guardia Nacional street. The club started to build a grandstand while the team continued playing in Villa Luro and other fields, until the construction finished. Works were ready in 1924, when the club inaugurated its first stadium with a grandstand, lockers, coffee shop, personnel room and secretary. The stadium was officially opened in a friendly match v [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]].

New grandstands were built between 1926 and 1927, completing the four sides of the stadium and therefore increasing its capacity. In 1935, the first match with artificial lighting was played at Vélez Sarsfield venue. The local team defeated [[Club Atlético Platense|Platense]] 4–2. The end of an era came in 1940 when the club was intimated to leave the lands where the stadium was located due to the rental contract had expired.

===Current venue===
[[File:Pepe amalfitani tribuna velez.jpg|thumb|left|150px|President of Vélez Sársfield [[José Amalfitani]] in the current stadium, inaugurated in 1943]]
After suffering [[Promotion and relegation|relegation]] from the [[Argentine Primera División]] in 1940, Vélez was sacked from the Villa Luro ground they were renting. Three years later, in 1941, the club obtained the terrain of the current stadium, property of the [[Buenos Aires Western Railway]]. The ground was a swamp of the [[Maldonado Stream]], where construction was difficult. However, the club's president [[José Amalfitani]] led the construction of the first stadium at the site, which was inaugurated on April 11, 1943. The new stadium used the same wood stands from the old Villa Luro stadium, and was inaugurated in a 2–2 draw with [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]]. Vélez striker [[Juan José Ferraro]] scored the first goal in the stadium's history (the others were scored by Ángel Fernández for Vélez and [[Adolfo Pedernera]] twice for River). The current stadium was inaugurated on April 22, 1951.

The stadium was renamed in honor of José Amalfitani on December 7, 1968. The following year, a modern lighting system by [[Siemens]] was installed, and the first of the upper stand sections was completed.

José Amalfitani Stadium was the first venue in South America with a [[lighting]] system, inaugurated in 1928. After the stadium was inaugurated, one of the members of Vélez Sarsfield executive committee, Raùl D'Onofrio (father of then president of River Plate Rodolfo D'Onofrio),<ref>[https://www.tycsports.com/river-plate/river-rodolfo-donofrio-politica-id456294.html Rodolfo D'Onofrio, ex presidente de River, confirmó que se meterá en la política] on TyC, 9 Aug 2022</ref> came up with the idea of bring the lighting system used in [[ballpark|baseball stadiums]] in the US that had impressed him. Nevertheless, the club later would sign an agreement with Germany-based company [[Siemens]] to be is supplier.<ref>[https://velez.com.ar/club/estadio Estadio] on C.A.

Vélez Sarsfield drew an average home attendance of 41,646 in the [[2024 Argentine Primera División]].

=== Rugby union ===
[[File:Argentina australia 1987.jpg|thumb|Argentine playing their second test v. Australia in 1987]]
The José Amalfitani Stadium is the current home ground for the [[Jaguares (Super Rugby)|Jaguares]], an Argentine [[Super Rugby]] franchise. The ground has  also hosted the [[Argentina national rugby union team|Argentina national team]] (''Los Pumas'') since 1986, when the side left to play at [[Estadio Arquitecto Ricardo Etcheverry|Ferro Carril Oeste Stadium]] (their home venue by then) searching for higher capacity stadiums.

When [[South Africa national rugby union team|South Africa]] played Argentina in November [[2005 South Africa rugby union tour of Argentina and Europe|2005]] at Vélez Sarsfield, they faced a strong ''Pumas'' side, which took a 20–16 lead into the half-time break, before fading in the second half and losing 34–23.

In the [[2006 mid-year rugby test series|2006 mid-year tests]], the second test against [[Wales national rugby union team|Wales]], saw the ''Pumas'' win 45–27, Argentina's largest win ever over Wales. The national squad next hosted the world's top team, the [[New Zealand national rugby union team|All Blacks]]. The New Zealanders survived an Argentine assault in the final minutes to hang on to win 25–19 and to deny Argentina a huge upset.

''Los Pumas'' began their final preparation for the [[2007 Rugby World Cup|2007 World Cup]] with a summer two-test series against visiting [[Ireland national rugby union team|Ireland]], including a 16–0 win at Vélez Sarsfield.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/irish/6715723.stm |title=Argentina 16–0 Ireland |publisher=BBC |date=2 June 2007 |access-date=2 June 2007| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070705040756/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_union/irish/6715723.stm| archive-date= 5 July 2007 | url-status= live}}</ref>
