Albertão, Football stadium in Teresina, Brazil

Estádio Governador Alberto Tavares Silva, known as Albertão, is a football stadium in Teresina owned by the state of Piauí and administered by the Fundação de Esporte do Piauí. It was designed for 60,000 spectators and now holds 44,200, with the fire department further capping event attendance. River Atlético Clube and Esporte Clube Flamengo play their home matches here.

Construction began in March 1972 under governor Alberto Tavares Silva, and the stadium was officially inaugurated on 26 August 1973. The inaugural match, played a year earlier while unfinished, ended 0-0 between Tiradentes and Fluminense and was marred by a panic that killed eight people. The first goal came on 29 August 1973 from Cruzeiro's Dirceu Lopes.

River Atlético Clube and Esporte Clube Flamengo play their home matches here, and the stadium hosts Campeonato Piauiense finals; Altos-PI won the last state title at the ground on penalties in 2024. Off the pitch it has held concerts, including the Piauí Pop festival in 2023 and a Whindersson Nunes DVD recording in 2024 that drew about 20,000 people.

The stadium operates under current fire department safety rules that limit the number of attendees per event. It is wise to check the current capacity limits before planning your visit.

The first match at the unfinished Albertão, on 26 August 1972, ended 0-0 between Tiradentes-PI and Fluminense-RJ before about 30,000 people. In the 25th minute a low-flying aircraft shook the structure; spectators thought the stands were collapsing, and the resulting panic killed eight people and injured dozens.
