The Estadio José María Minella, is a stadium in the city of Mar del Plata, Argentina.
The stadium was built in preparation for the 1978 World Cup. It has capacity for 35,354 spectators although it doesn't provide seating for all of them, like many Argentine stadiums.
Since there are no Argentine First Division teams in Mar del Plata, the stadium is sparsely used, mostly by second division and regional teams, and by first division teams for summer tournaments.
It is also used for festival or concert purposes.
On February 24, 1993 the stadium played host to the second, and final, Intercontinental Cup for Nations (known as the Artemio Franchi Cup) match between the then defending South American football champions, Argentina, and reigning European champions, Denmark. The match ended 1 - 1 after extra time, but Argentina went on to win 5 - 4 on penalties.
