It is named after the former Argentine president Juan Perón who loaned the club $1.5 million during the late 1940s to help build the stadium. The debt was then written off by Arturo Frondizi in 1959. Before the death of Perón in 1974 the stadium was named El Estadio Monumental de Alta Córdoba.
The stadium is owned by club Instituto Atlético Central Córdoba.
