The stadium was specifically built to host the 2013 Women's Pan American Cup.[4] and was inaugurated on 18 September. Its pitch has a water-based artificial turf,[5] and a lighting system to hold night matches.[6]

It is located at "Parque Deportivo", a sports complex in the General San Martín Park of Mendoza that includes a running track (with artificial surface of 4,400 m2),[3] three tennis courts, the Aconcagua indoor arena, and a bike path.[7]

Estadio Malvinas Argentinas' facilities include four locker rooms for hockey teams and two for referees, a first aid room, access for mobility-impaired persons, and automatic irrigation system, among others.[2]
