The Estadio Olimpico Pascual Guerrero is a football stadium, also used for athletics, concerts, and rugby sevens, in Santiago de Cali, Colombia which is named to honor the poet Pascual Guerrero. The stadium and the sports complex that surrounds it are one of the finest and most modern sports complexes in Latin America, and led to references of Cali as the "Sports Capital of America". The "Pascual", as Cali's inhabitants usually call the stadium, replaced the now defunct Estadio Galilea which was located in the Versailles neighbourhood, where the first national athletics competition was held in 1928.

In 1948 the first game of professional football was played at the stadium, and in 1954 the stadium hosted the seventh edition of the National Games of Colombia.

With the appointment of Cali as host of the 1971 Pan American Games, in 1967 the stadium was restructured and adapted to Olympic standards of the time, and a 8-lane track developed in synthetic tartan, pit and spaces for shot put and hammer, long jump and pole vault were built.
