Estádio Engenheiro Alencar Araripe, Football stadium in Cariacica, Brazil

Estádio Engenheiro Alencar Araripe is a football stadium in Cariacica with a natural grass pitch and four lighting towers that illuminate the field. The facility has modern amenities including electronic scoreboards, air-conditioned locker rooms, and two additional training fields for teams to use.

Founded on 16 January 1966, the stadium's inaugural match saw Desportiva Ferroviária beat America-RJ 3-0, with Roberto Almeida scoring the first goal (an own goal). Its first night match came on 22 February 1967, a win over Fluminense. In 1999 the club formed a partnership with Grupo Villa-Forte, and in 2011 control returned to Desportiva. A 2012 agreement with Unimed and Sicoob funded a R$2.5 million revitalization.

The stadium's name honours engineer Alencar de Araripe. Its supporters follow Desportiva Ferroviária, the railway workers' club that owns the ground and has played there since the 1966 inaugural match, a 3-0 win over America of Rio de Janeiro.

The stadium sits about one kilometre from the centre of Vitória, close to the capital's bus station, in Cariacica. Access is through independent entrances for each of its five sectors. Inside there are fourteen press cabins, two box seats, six bars, a gym and three large dressing rooms reached by separate tunnels.

The stadium served as a training center for the Australian national team during 2014 World Cup preparations. This role made it a hub for international sports training during one of the world's biggest sporting events.
