Estádio de Los Larios, Football stadium in Xerém, Brazil.
Estádio de Los Larios is a football stadium in Xerém, Duque de Caxias, owned by Tigres do Brasil. It has a natural grass pitch and three grandstands: two concrete terraces and a covered social area with green and yellow seats. The official capacity is 6,300, per the Brazilian Football Confederation.
Built in 2008, the ground hosted Tigres do Brasil's Campeonato Carioca Segunda Divisão matches before its official opening, including a 4–0 win over Olaria that secured promotion. It was inaugurated on January 18, 2009, with an all-star game featuring Carlos Alberto Torres, Ricardo Rocha, Vampeta and Adílio, followed by a 4–4 friendly against Danubio. Ten days later Vasco da Gama beat the hosts 4–0 in the first official match.
The ground is named after the Larios family, honouring the Nicaraguan Miguel Larios, founder and honorary president of Tigres do Brasil. The club's 2008 Second Division title run, sealed with a 4–0 win over Olaria, took it to the Carioca top flight for the first time. Fluminense, Botafogo, Vasco and Flamengo have all played here.
The stadium sits on Estrada Rio do Ouro, 3,855, in rural Xerém, reached mainly by car via the Arco Metropolitano exit toward central Xerém. Only one bus line runs along the road, and there is no mobile phone or internet signal. Access is through the main entrance, with a separate visitors' gate and five ticket offices; parking holds up to 500 vehicles.
The name honours the family of Miguel Larios, the Nicaraguan founder and honorary president of Tigres do Brasil. In 2009 the club presented a CBF-backed report certifying 11,000 spectators so Duque de Caxias could host Série B games; after two matches the confederation withdrew it, and the official capacity is 6,300.
