Estádio Presidente Antônio Carlos, Football stadium in Lourdes district, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.
The Estádio Presidente Antônio Carlos was a football stadium in the Lourdes district, designed with English-influenced architecture featuring concrete grandstands and wooden bleachers. The venue could hold about 5,000 spectators in its main area.
The stadium opened in 1929 and served as the first permanent home for Atletico Mineiro until 1950. During those years it hosted numerous regional championships and important matches in the area.
The opening day was so important that local businesses closed to let their employees attend the inaugural match between Atletico Mineiro and Corinthians. This showed how central football was to the life of the city.
The stadium location is in the Lourdes neighborhood in the city center and is easy to find. The site was transformed into a shopping center in 1994, so visitors will see only the new commercial building today.
Jules Rimet, the FIFA president, attended his first night match at this stadium in 1930 and watched Atletico Mineiro win with a remarkable score. The match became a memorable moment in the region's football history.
