Estadio Universitario BUAP (official name) is a multi-purpose stadium located in Ciudad Universitaria in Puebla, Puebla, Mexico. Lobos BUAP had used it from 1999–2007 and is set to play the Clausura 2011 Liga de Ascenso (2nd-Tier) Mexican football tournament.
The first stage of the stadium opened in 1999 and was used by Lobos de la BUAP, a professional football club that plays in the Ascenso MX. In 2007, the stadium was abandon because it did not meet the FMF requirements to play in the Ascenso MX until Clausura 2012; they returned to stadium after a 3 1⁄2-year absence on February 26.
Veracruz played in Estadio Universitario BUAP for final 2 home games (Apertura 2014) Week 14 and 16 from Estadio Luis "Pirata" Fuente due to 2014 Central American and Caribbean Games.
Puebla will play Clausura 2015 in Estadio Universitario BUAP away from Estadio Cuauhtémoc due to renovations.
