This stadium is the largest in the entire region and the second largest in Colombia, where the clubs Atlético Nacional and Independiente Medellín play their home games in the First A category of Colombian professional football. Envigado Fútbol Club games also occasionally take place in this stadium.

This sports venue was the venue for the 2011 U-20 World Cup and the opening event of the IX. South American Games Medellín 2010.

In 2009, the Colombian national team took part in the South American qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The stadium is named after the hero General Atanasio Girardot, who fought in the wars of independence of Colombia and Venezuela. The stadium is not the only one named after the Procer; the entire sports complex in the city of Medellín bears the name Unidad Deportiva Atanasio Girardot.
