Estadio Universidad Católica

Estadio Universidad Católica was a multi-use stadium in Santiago, Chile.[2] The venue was also known as Estadio Reina Victoria,[2] due to the boxing events held there and the good relations between the entrepreneur in charge of the events and a cigar company.[2] Among the events held at this venue were football matches, boxing nights (including a Latin American championship),[2] equestrian events,[4] and others.
