Estadio Pocitos was a multi-use stadium in Montevideo, Uruguay, that does not exist today. This stadium was mainly used for football matches of the owner club Peñarol from 1921 to 1930.Later it was demolished in the 30´s decade because Peñarol started to play in the Estadio Centenario as its home field. The first FIFA World Cup goal was scored in this stadium.
