For many years the 42.000 capacity was its official limit, until it was again changed to 45.000 for the [[Copa_Am%E9rica_2004#Group_A|2004 Copa América Group A soccer games]] held in Peru. Very popular international soccer teams and renowned players have played in this stadium, including [[Spain]]'s [[Real Madrid]] and [[Belarus]]'s national soccer team, as well as players like [[Pelé]] and [[Maradona]] in previous years.

Thanks to a 14-million dollar government investment program to remodel older peruvian stadiums, spectators were able to enjoy the games with the highest standards as imposed by [[CONMEBOL]] for the [[Copa América 2004]] soccer competitions. In return the country received throngs of tourists, international media coverage, and more locals buying tickets to attend the games. Peru's biggest stadium, [[Estadio Monumental Teodoro Fernández]], is also located in [[Lima]] with a capacity of 80.093 and belongs to the [["Universario De deportesDeportes"]] team.
