Estádio Luso-Brasileiro

Estádio Luso-Brasileiro, Football stadium in Ilha do Governador, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Estádio Luso-Brasileiro is a football stadium on Ilha do Governador with four separate grandstands and a total capacity of about 20,000 seats. The playing field is surrounded by distinct spectator sections designed for home and visiting supporters.

The site was a horse racing track, the Jockey Club da Guanabara, inaugurated on 6 August 1961; its covered main stand with a modern marquise survives. The football stadium opened on 2 October 1965 with Portuguesa against Vasco before 8,565 paying spectators, both goals scored by Zezinho. Temporary stands raised capacity to about 30,000 in 2005, to 17,250 under Botafogo in 2016 and to 20,113 under Flamengo in 2017.

The stadium's name reflects the bond between Brazilian and Portuguese communities, and it serves as home to Associação Atlética Portuguesa. Supporters gather here to back their team as part of a rooted local tradition.

The ground sits in the Portuguesa neighbourhood on Ilha do Governador, in Rio's North Zone, reached by crossing the bridge onto the island. The covered West Stand holds the locker rooms and media booth and is the only sector with a roof over every seat; the East Stand has none. The North Stand is standing-only, and the South Stand mixes seating and standing, with a separate block for visiting supporters.

The stadium's nickname, Estádio dos Ventos Uivantes ("Howling Winds Stadium"), comes from the wind that blows across the pitch. On 19 September 1970, Flamengo goalkeeper Ubirajara Alcântara scored against Madureira here, a goal attributed to the wind and called the "Gol dos Ventos Uivantes".
