Estádio Estadual Jornalista Edgar Augusto Proença

Estádio Estadual Jornalista Edgar Augusto Proença is a football stadium in Belém and offers space for over 50,000 spectators. The complex includes a large pitch, several stand sections, and training facilities for clubs from northern Brazil.

Work on this stadium began in the early 1970s and continued until the end of the decade. Completion brought the region a modern sports venue that remains in use today.

The venue carries the name of a journalist from Pará, showing how closely sport and media connect in this region. Fans fill the stands on match days and create a lively mood that shapes the rhythm of the city.

Access is through several entrances around the grounds, with each sector having its own gates. First-time visitors should plan enough time to find the right entrance and navigate the sprawling complex.

The complex sits in a neighborhood that completely transforms on match days and becomes a meeting point for thousands of fans. Despite its size, the grounds remain rather quiet outside the football season and then often serve local sports groups as a training location.
