Estádio Brinco de Ouro, football stadium in Brazil
The Estádio Brinco de Ouro is a football stadium in Campinas, inaugurated on 31 May 1953. Its design by Oswaldo Corrêa Gonçalves and Ícaro de Castro Mello features a long sloping roof of dark parallel ribs above a pale tan lower wall, with a green and white striped canopy extending to one side. The pitch measures 105 by 68 metres.
Designed by modernist architects Oswaldo Corrêa Gonçalves and Ícaro de Castro Mello, the stadium opened on 31 May 1953 with wooden bleachers for 15,000 spectators. Concrete stands replaced the wood in 1975, and toboggan-style upper tiers were added in 1980 after Guarani won the Brazilian Championship in 1978. The pitch was enlarged in 2002 and reduced to 105 x 68 m for Nigeria's 2014 World Cup training.
The ground holds 20,580 spectators under current Campinas safety rules, so match-day seats fill quickly. The pitch measures 105 by 68 metres, reduced from 110 by 75 in 2014 for Nigeria's World Cup training and kept since. The stadium sits in Campinas, São Paulo state, and is owned by Guarani Futebol Clube.
