Estadio Fragata Presidente Sarmiento is a football stadium. It's situated at the westernmost part of San Justo, marking the transition with the nearby town of Isidro Casanova in La Matanza Partido, Argentina.
The stadium is the home ground of Club Almirante Brown and has a capacity of 26,000 spectators. It was opened on 14 June 1969.
The stadium was named after Frigate ARA Presidente Sarmiento, the first training ship of Argentina. Built in the United Kingdom, the ship made its inaugural trip in 1898. The frigate served from 1899 to 1939 and made 37 trips around the world. Repurposed as a museum since December 1961, it was declared National Historic Monument of Argentina one year later. Nowadays the frigate is moored in the Puerto Madero district of Buenos Aires.
