Estádio da Timbaúva, Soccer stadium in Santa Cecília, Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Estádio da Timbaúva is a soccer stadium in Santa Cecília, Porto Alegre, situated on roughly 1.6 hectares (4 acres) of land on Rua Doutor Alcides Cruz. The facility features a grass field maintained to professional standards and is surrounded by residential streets and neighborhood buildings.
The stadium was inaugurated on April 14, 1935, with a match between two local teams that resulted in a decisive victory for one side. For over four decades, it remained an important venue for football competitions in the region.
The stadium served as a home ground for a local team that hosted regional competitions and friendly matches for several decades. This role made the place an important gathering spot for football fans in the neighborhood.
The property is not open to the public today as it is used privately. Visitors can view the site from the surrounding streets and observe the grounds from outside the perimeter.
The stadium's name comes from a tree species that once surrounded the playing field, reflecting the botanical character of the place. This naming after local plants was a common practice when establishing sports venues in that era.
