Arena Fonte Nova, Football stadium in Nazaré, Salvador, Brazil.
Arena Fonte Nova is a football stadium in the Nazaré neighborhood of Salvador with a circular seating bowl that holds 50,000 spectators. The playing surface is visible from all sides and the open roof design allows natural light to flow through the entire oval structure.
The original stadium built in 1951 was demolished and replaced with this modern facility completed in 2013. During the 2014 World Cup six matches took place here and the stadium gained international recognition as a host venue for teams from around the world.
The name Fonte Nova refers to a new fountain that once existed in this part of Salvador long before the stadium was built. Local fans sing traditional chants and songs that have been passed down through generations and now fill every matchday with a recognizable rhythm and sound.
The stadium is accessible via several public bus routes and main roads and has numerous entrance gates for different sectors. Visitors should arrive early on match days to avoid queues and allow time for security checks at the entry points.
The stadium features a rainwater collection system and solar panels that make it one of the first environmentally certified sports venues in South America. These technical elements are built into the structure and work continuously during events without disrupting the experience for visitors.
