Estádio dos Aflitos, football stadium in Recife, Brazil

Estádio dos Aflitos is a football stadium located in the Aflitos neighborhood of Recife with a capacity of approximately 17,000 to 22,000 spectators and a pitch measuring 105 by 68 meters. The venue features wooden seating areas, basic concrete structures, and a central grass field surrounded by tiered stands.

The Pernambuco Football Federation leased the ground in 1917 for that year's state championship, and Náutico took over the lease in 1918, paying 250 mil réis for four years; the club became definitive owner in 1921. Stands were begun in the 1930s, with the pitch rotated from east-west to north-south, and the stadium opened on 25 June 1939 with a 5-2 Clássico dos Clássicos win over Sport. It was named after Eládio de Barros Carvalho in 1953.

The stadium's name honours Eládio de Barros Carvalho, Náutico's president for 14 years over two spells (1948–54 and 1957–63), who drove its expansions. Fans call it Estádio dos Aflitos after the Recife neighbourhood of Nossa Senhora dos Aflitos where it stands. The ground's nickname, the centenarian Campo dos Aflitos, recalls its origins as a field.

The stadium stands in the Aflitos neighbourhood of Recife and is owned by Clube Náutico Capibaribe. Since Náutico moved its matches to Arena Pernambuco in 2013, the ground has hosted only smaller events and fallen into disuse, with demolition and a shopping centre once considered. Check locally whether it is open before travelling there.

On 1 July 1945 Nautico beat Flamengo de Recife 21-3 at the Aflitos, the biggest rout in local football history; Tará scored nine of the goals. The ground's attendance record is 31,613, set on 16 August 1970 in a 1-0 state championship win over Santa Cruz.
