Estádio Castor Cifuentes, Municipal football stadium in Nova Lima, Brazil.

The Castor Cifuentes Stadium features a grass field of 100 by 66 meters and accommodates 15,000 spectators in its concrete structure.

Built in 1930, the stadium received its name in 1936 to honor Castor Cifuentes, who served as president of Villa Nova Athletic Club from 1932 to 1935.
