History
Named after politician Carlos Villegas Quiroga (deceased in 2015),[4] the stadium was inaugurated in 2022,[2] and became the home of San Antonio Bulo Bulo in 2023.[4] In February 2024, after the club's first-ever promotion to the División Profesional, it was approved by the Bolivian Football Federation to host top tier matches.[5]
San Antonio qualified to the 2025 Copa Libertadores, but was unable to play at Carlos Villegas as CONMEBOL ruled out international matches in the stadium.[6]
