On matchday

The two ends, Colombes and Ámsterdam, are the 'popular' sectors, so called for the big crowds they draw, the stadium says. Uruguay play their home games here, Nacional bring Libertadores nights and clásicos, and the Centenario has staged more Copa Libertadores matches than any other ground.
