Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, commonly known as Estadio Garcilaso, is Cusco's principal stadium and the home venue of the local football team Cienciano. The stadium was named after the Peruvian mestizo Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and inaugurated in 1958, with an initial capacity of 30,000. It is owned by the Instituto Peruano del Deporte (Peruvian Institute of Sport).^[2]

The Estadio Garcilaso de la Vega is also recognized as one of the most beautiful stadiums in all of South America. This recognition is due to its well-maintained grass and its resistance to the sometimes aggressive and highly variable climate of the city of Cuzco. The stadium's perpetual beauty even in these climates is awe-inspiring, and this resistive beauty moves football commentators and visitors alike.

The stadium is currently home to three football clubs. The first two original clubs since the 1950s are Cienciano of the Peruvian Primera Division and Deportivo Garcilaso of the Peruvian Primera División, and the third is Cusco FC, also of the Peruvian Primera División.
