The Estadio Francisco Rivera Escobar is a multi-purpose stadium on the southern edge of Palmira, home to Deportivo Palmira when they play in Colombia's lower football divisions. With a capacity of around 8,000, it is a modest ground, but attending a local football match here is a genuine local experience rather than a tourist spectacle — passionate, informal, and considerably cheaper than going to Cali's América or Deportivo.
The stadium is named for a Colombian footballer and is used for both football and athletics events. Check local listings for fixture dates if you are in the area during the season.
