Stadium
The Club's headquarters are located at the district of La Victoria, city of Lima.
The infrastructure includes the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium (also known as Matute or "La Caldera") with a capacity of 35,000 spectators, training facilities and administrative offices.
The stadium was inaugurated in 11 April 1965 in a press conference that expressed gratitude to the Peruvian President Manuel Odría, who approved the donation of land that belonged to the Peruvian State.
Uruguayan architect Walter Lavalleja was responsible for the project, with contribution by Alfonso De Souza-Ferreyra. The first phase of works began in 30 May 1969.
