Ginásio Aécio de Borba, sports hall in Brazil
The Ginásio Aécio de Borba is a multipurpose indoor facility in Fortaleza featuring a smooth floor and bright lighting that can accommodate up to 2,500 spectators. The space has been renovated with updated security features, improved seating, and new gates to support futsal, basketball, volleyball, and other sports.
The facility was officially opened in 1982 as a venue for young players to practice and develop their skills. Since then, it has hosted numerous futsal competitions, including state and national championship matches.
The gym is named after Aécio de Borba Vasconcelos, a figure who played a key role in developing futsal in Brazil. It serves as a gathering place where local teams, players, and families come together to share their passion for sport.
The gym is easily accessible by car or bus and located in the Benfica neighborhood. The space has been designed with accessibility in mind, featuring ramps and designated areas to accommodate visitors with mobility challenges.
The venue is named after a Brazilian futsal pioneer who became head of the national futsal confederation in 1979, helping Brazil win its first international title in the sport. The city plans to build a museum next to the gym to tell the story of futsal history in the Ceará region.
