Campos de Sports de Ñuñoa (English: Ñuñoa sports fields) was a multi-use stadium in Santiago, Chile. It was the home ground of the Chile national football team until the current Estadio Nacional de Chile opened in 1938. The stadium held 20,000 spectators. It hosted the Copa America tournament in 1926. Campos de Sports de Ñuñoa was the second of four stadiums that have been owned by the chilean club Universidad Católica.

History

In 1918, the land where the facility operated was donated to the State by José Domingo Cañas. Its objective was the recreation of the popular education charitable societies that the philanthropist supported. The construction of the sports complex included the creation of soccer fields, tennis courts, a playground, among other facilities. The land was located between the current José Domingo Cañas streets and Campos de Deportes.

On November 11, 1927, the Ñuñoa Sports Fields became property of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and Club Deportivo Universidad Católica (in the club's amateur stage), and, by extension, of the current club Universidad Católica, from its final foundation on April 21, 1937, due to the partnership between the university and the CDUC. The Chilean club's first venue was the Estadio Universidad Católica, built very close to the university that was the alma mater of the sports institution.

In 1938 it was demolished, being replaced by the National Stadium Sports Complex, currently National Stadium Park, located nearby.
