Estadio Bello Horizonte Rey Pelé is a football stadium located in Villavicencio, Colombia. [1] The stadium, built in 1958, has a capacity of 15,000 people and was named after Manuel Calle Lombana, mayor of Villavicencio in 1958, [2] thus receiving the nickname of Macal. Categoría Primera B club Llaneros play their home matches at this stadium.
On 4 January 2023, the Governor of Meta Department Juan Guillermo Zuluaga announced the renaming of the stadium to Estadio Bello Horizonte Rey Pelé, following a suggestion by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to all countries to name one stadium in tribute to Brazilian footballer Pelé, in the aftermath of his death on 29 December 2022.
