Arena Condá, soccer stadium in Brazil
Arena Condá is a football stadium in central Chapecó with a capacity of 19,351. The field is enclosed by low green metal fences topped with advertising boards, and behind it tiered concrete seating rises in white and green rows broken by orange sections, covered by a long flat green roof along the upper edge. Tall buildings stand beyond the stadium.
The stadium opened in early 2009 and hosted its first match in the Campeonato Catarinense, which the home team won 4-1 against Brusque. Player Nenén scored the first goal ever at this venue.
The name honours Vitorino Condá, a leading Kaingang chief of western Santa Catarina who defended his people's lands against settlers and the Brazilian government. The stadium was called Estádio Regional Índio Condá until Municipal Law 5,560 of 28 May 2009 renamed it Arena Condá.
The stadium is easy to reach on foot from the city center and is located at the corner of Rua Clevelândia and Índio Condá street. The best time to visit is on match days when crowds gather and local vendors sell refreshments and snacks.
