The stadium opened in 1947 as a venue for major Rio clubs to hold their matches when other facilities were occupied. Since its opening, it has served as an important backup ground for the city's football teams.
The stadium serves as the social hub of Olaria, where residents gather to watch local football and connect with their community. This ground reflects the neighborhood's identity and its deep roots in the sport.
The stadium sits on Bariri Street in the Olaria neighborhood and is accessible by public transport. Visitors should expect a compact venue where spaces can feel crowded during matches, so arriving early helps secure a good spot.
