Estádio Cerecamp, Sports stadium in Campinas, Brazil
Estádio Cerecamp is a sports facility in Campinas with a grass playing surface and concrete seating that accommodates roughly 4,000 spectators. The venue includes electric lighting systems that allow matches to be played in the evening hours.
The stadium was completed on 17 June 1940 and its first match was played on 9 July 1940, between Esporte Clube Mogiana and Uberaba Sport Club. At the time it ranked behind only the Pacaembu and São Januário in quality and architecture among Brazilian grounds. It hosted the 1945 Jogos Abertos do Interior and, in 1948, the first nighttime Dérbi, a 5-2 Guarani win. The state government took ownership in the 1970s, and the ground was listed as heritage in 2019.
During the 1940s and 1950s, this stadium stood as the only venue in Campinas equipped with floodlights, hosting numerous matches between local teams Guarani and Ponte Preta.
The stadium was closed by the São Paulo state government in 2023 due to poor conditions, and a 2024 auction with a minimum bid of R$ 28.6 million drew no offers. It is not open for events; check official state government notices before planning any visit. The 26,500 m² grounds include a tiled basketball court where Mogiana won the Campinas championship.
The stadium's nickname, Mogiana, comes from the Guanabara railway station of the Companhia Mogiana de Estradas de Ferro that once stood beside it; the ground was home to the railway workers' club Esporte Clube Mogiana, which folded after the 1950s. Parts of the structure were built with leftover materials from that same railway.
