About Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez
Colombia's national stadium for home qualifying matches, the Metropolitano has been a fortress for the Selección and the center of Barranquilla's passionate football life. The coastal Caribbean energy of Barranquilla fans is noticeably different from the Andean football culture — louder, more musical, and deeply connected to cumbia and vallenato. Visiting teams dread the heat and the noise in equal measure.
Located in Barranquilla.
