The Estadio Bumeran Diego Armando Maradona is a football stadium located in the district of Villa General Mitre, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is the home venue of club Argentinos Juniors, and has a capacity of 22,023 spectators.

It was given its name in 2004 in honour of former Argentinos player Diego Maradona (1960–2020) who made his professional debut here in 1976,[1] following the refurbishment of the ground, and to celebrate the club's centenary year.[2]
