Estádio Martins Pereira

Estádio Martins Pereira, Municipal stadium in São José dos Campos, Brazil

The Estádio Martins Pereira is a football stadium in São José dos Campos, inaugurated in 1970 and named after Mário Martins Pereira, who donated the land with his brother Nélson. Its two covered stands were reworked in the 2013 renovation, and the official capacity is 12,234 spectators. The pitch was rebuilt to FIFA recommendations, and the site also has new dressing rooms, a medical room and anti-doping room.

Construction began in 1968 on land donated by the brothers Nélson and Mário Martins Pereira, after the old Estádio da Rua Antônio Saes was sold. The inaugural match on 15 March 1970 saw Atlético Mineiro beat Internacional 1–0, with Dadá Maravilha scoring the first goal. In 1975 club debts led to the stadium being auctioned and bought by Urbam, which has administered it since. A 2013 renovation reduced capacity to 12,234 under fire regulations, and in September 2023 Grupo Oscar won a 25-year concession.

The stadium's name honors brothers Nélson and Mário Martins Pereira, founders of São José Esporte Clube, who donated the land. In 2014 it hosted the Women's Copa Libertadores, where São José became three-time champions, and the World University Rugby Sevens. The ground is shared by São José and Clube Atlético Joseense.

The stadium sits in São José dos Campos, with its main entrance moved during the 2013 works and a new facade added. The 2013 renovation also created a large car park and four snack bars for the public, plus four new restrooms. Access is managed under the Corpo de Bombeiros safety rules, which set the official capacity at 12,234 spectators.

The stadium's record attendance is disputed: an unofficial 19,000 watched São José draw 1-1 with São Paulo on 11 May 1997, while sources also cite over 20,000 at a 6-2 Copa São Paulo junior loss to Cruzeiro on 20 January 2007. In September 2023 the ground was granted to Grupo Oscar for 25 years, extendable by 10.
