El Alto's New Stadium
El Alto is now considered one of the 4 major urban centers in Bolivia (the others: La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba). Bolivia's "youngest city" can now boast having a team in the Bolivian Football League with the unveiling of their new stadium "Cosmos 79" located about an hour's bus ride from the center of La Paz.
One of La Paz's 4 professional teams will also make the move "up" to call this new stadium home. Iberoamericana plans to begin to play its home games in El Alto. This new stadium will be at an even higher altitude than the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, although both sit well below than the Stadium in Potosi, which may be the highest in the world that has hosted an international competition.
