Estadio Municipal Pérez Zeledón

Estadio Municipal Pérez Zeledón is a multi-use stadium in San Isidro, Costa Rica. It is currently used mostly for football matches and is the home stadium of the Costa Rican FPD teams Municipal Pérez Zeledón and AS Puma Generaleña. The stadium holds 6000 people.

In 2014, the Municipality of Pérez Zeledón renamed the stadium as "Estadio Municipal Keylor Navas Gamboa", named after native goalkeeper Keylor Navas, due to his outstanding performance with the Costa Rica national football team at the 2014 FIFA World Cup. However, the renaming procedure has been deemed as illegal by the Costa Rican National Committee of Nomenclature, arguing that a stadium can only be named after somebody just as a posthumous tribute.
