Estádio Ícaro de Castro Melo

The Estádio Ícaro de Castro Melo is an athletics facility in Moema District with a modern 400-meter Tartan track and separate areas for jumping and throwing events. The grounds feature multiple training fields and spectator stands.

The stadium opened in 1954 under the State Government of São Paulo and initially served as a velodrome. It was converted in the 1990s and has since focused on athletics events.

The stadium hosts local track and field competitions that draw athletes from across the region. People gather here to witness national records and watch emerging talents perform in the arena.

The stadium is near Ibirapuera Park and accessible by public transportation. It is wise to check in advance whether training sessions or specific events are planned to get the most from your visit.

Before becoming the athletics center it is today, the stadium hosted professional football matches in the 1990s. This brief phase made it a versatile sports venue before dedicating itself fully to track and field.
