The stadium opened on September 8 of 1950 as a venue dedicated to students, with the name Estadio Escolar. In 1951 it was renamed to Estadio Escolar Mario Camposeco in memory of local athlete Mario Camposeco, who had died in a plane crash the year before while still active and who played football for Xelajú MC and the Guatemala national team. The stadium hosted the second leg of the 2012 Clausura championship final between Xelajú and CSD Municipal, won by the home team.
