Estadio Olímpico Venustiano Carranza is a sports venue in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico, set within the Centro Deportivo Ejército de la Revolución. Its location and long sporting history make it a distinct Morelia stadium to consider when planning around an event, but you should confirm the event and entry arrangements before you go.
- Location: Av. del Estudiante, Vasco de Quiroga, Morelia.
- Access: Event schedules and visitor arrangements should be confirmed with the event organizer.
The stadium and its location
Estadio Olímpico Venustiano Carranza stands within the Centro Deportivo Ejército de la Revolución, a wider sports complex in Morelia. The Michoacán Secretariat of Communications and Public Works reports that the stadium was built in 1964.
The venue has also hosted professional soccer. A local-news report in 2024 said Atlético Morelia played there for 24 years. That history gives the stadium a role in the city’s sporting life beyond its function as an event venue.

Which events are scheduled?
Event schedules at Estadio Olímpico Venustiano Carranza can’t be inferred from its history or its role in the sports complex. Check for a specific match or other event through the organizer’s current announcements before setting out.
The venue has been used for organized competition: a national school-sports event listed it as a competition facility in 2018. That past use does not establish what is scheduled now, so confirm the event, date, and entry arrangements directly with its organizer.
Visitor entry and facilities
Entry arrangements depend on the event, so confirm the permitted entrance and ticket requirements with the organizer before you travel. Don’t assume that facilities elsewhere in the sports complex are part of stadium access.
A report about the wider Centro Deportivo Ejército de la Revolución described facilities including an athletics track, courts for several sports, soccer fields, a baseball stadium, a jogging track, an Olympic pool, and a multipurpose auditorium. These are complex-wide facilities; the report does not establish which are open to stadium visitors or available during an event.
How do you get to the stadium from central Morelia?
The stadium is at Av. del Estudiante in the Vasco de Quiroga area. From Hotel Cantera Real Morelia, it is about a 34-minute walk or a 9-minute drive.
Allow time to follow the event organizer’s arrival instructions, especially if the event specifies an entrance or access procedure. Confirm the route and travel conditions before leaving.
Confirming details before you go
Before you go, check the official site before you go for current event and visitor information. If the event has its own organizer, confirm ticketing, opening arrangements, and the entrance to use through that organizer as well.
The address used in tourism and event references is Av. del Estudiante, Vasco de Quiroga, 58230 Morelia, Michoacán. The Morelia transport and walking guide can help with wider trip planning; use the event’s own directions if they give more specific arrival instructions.
