Estádio Presidente Antônio Carlos, Football stadium in Lourdes district, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
The stadium featured an English-influenced architectural design with concrete grandstands and wooden bleachers accommodating 5,000 spectators in the central area of Belo Horizonte.
Opening its doors in 1929, the stadium became the first permanent home for Atletico Mineiro club until 1950, hosting numerous regional championships and high-profile matches.
The stadium inauguration caused such excitement that local businesses closed their doors to allow employees attendance at the opening match between Atletico Mineiro and Corinthians.
Located in the Lourdes neighborhood, the stadium site transformed into a shopping center in 1994 after decades of legal disputes regarding property ownership.
Jules Rimet, FIFA president, attended his first night match at this stadium in 1930, witnessing Atletico Mineiro defeat Sport with a score of 10-2.
