Guatemala Doroteo Guamuch Flores Stadium renovation issues

Overview

Renovation efforts at the Doroteo Guamuch Flores Stadium in Guatemala City have faced significant setbacks. Despite payments exceeding Q10 million to the contractor, Bremar, S. A., the project reached only 29% completion before the contract was rescinded by the Confederación Deportiva Autónoma de Guatemala (CDAG) for missing a December 2025 deadline.

Recent reports and video evidence shared by Deputy José Chic indicate that the facility is showing signs of deterioration, including cracks and crumbling sections. Although a new Q63 million renovation agreement was signed in March 2026 between the CDAG and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the stadium remains closed and lacks a grass field or athletics track. Legal proceedings are currently underway, with at least three criminal complaints filed regarding the project.
