About the place

Estadio Elías Figueroa Brander anchors the hilltop community of Playa Ancha as the sporting home of Santiago Wanderers.

The stadium stands in the Playa Ancha neighbourhood, perched above the port with direct exposure to coastal winds. Locals frequently refer to the grounds by the name of the surrounding suburb rather than its formal title. Football dominates the schedule, drawing devoted followings on match afternoons when Santiago Wanderers play their domestic fixtures here.
