Arena Amazônia, Sports stadium in Manaus, Brazil
Arena Amazônia is a stadium in Manaus that holds approximately 42,000 spectators and serves various sporting and entertainment events. The structure features white metal frameworks with diamond-shaped patterns, blending modern design with regional influences.
The stadium was built starting in 2011 on the site of the former Vivaldão stadium and completed in March 2014. It was constructed specifically to host the FIFA World Cup and enable international sporting competitions in the region.
The building displays patterns inspired by traditional basket weaving from the region, reflecting a connection to local craftsmanship. These design elements make the stadium a visible expression of respect for the cultural traditions of the Amazon area.
The complex features rainwater collection systems, natural ventilation channels, and thermal protection materials designed to handle the intense heat and humidity of the Amazon area. These elements ensure the venue remains functional even during extreme tropical weather conditions.
Four FIFA World Cup 2014 matches were held here, giving teams the rare experience of playing football in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. This geographic setting made the matches special, as few places in the world host international competitions in such a remote and ecologically sensitive region.
