Estádio Mário Pessoa, Football stadium in Ilhéus, Brazil

The Mário Pessoa Stadium spans across a former marshland area with modern lighting systems, press boxes, and covered stands for spectators.

The stadium opened its doors on June 28, 1940, with a match between Esporte Clube Bahia and Esporte Clube Ypiranga, resulting in a 4-2 victory for Bahia.

The venue hosts matches for Colo Colo de Futebol e Regatas, the main professional football team of Ilhéus, maintaining strong connections with local sports traditions.

The stadium accommodates 10,000 spectators and features new floodlights, numbered seating in covered sections, and extensive locker room facilities.

The facility received its current name in 1952 to honor the mayor who initiated its construction, transforming from Estádio Municipal de Ilhéus to Estádio Mário Pessoa.
