Deodoro Stadium, Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Deodoro Stadium is a modern sporting facility in Rio de Janeiro designed to hold around 15,000 spectators as part of the larger Deodoro Sports Complex. The grounds contain multiple training and competition areas connected by pathways and supporting infrastructure.

Deodoro Stadium opened on 2 March 2016 alongside the Youth Arena, inaugurated by Rio mayor Eduardo Paes with a capacity of 15,000. It hosted rugby sevens and modern pentathlon at the 2016 Olympics and seven-a-side football at the Paralympics. In 2022 Paes backed a proposal for a Flamengo stadium here, but the club pursued the Gasômetro site instead.

The venue sits within a district shaped by military heritage and serves the local community as a center for athletic events and training. It functions as part of the city's broader sports culture, drawing residents interested in watching competitions.

The venue sits in the Vila Militar district and connects to central Rio by public transportation, including the TransOlimpica bus line and metro links. Visitors should check ahead about scheduled events, as access may vary depending on whether training or competitions are taking place.

The stadium was built as a temporary structure, inaugurated on 2 March 2016 by Rio mayor Eduardo Paes together with the adjacent Youth Arena. It held 15,000 spectators. After the Games, the Flamengo football club considered the site for a new home ground; mayor Paes backed a Flamengo stadium in Deodoro in 2022, but the club turned to a project at the old Gasômetro in São Cristóvão, and none of these plans was carried out.
