Frasqueirão

Frasqueirão, Football stadium in Ponta Negra, Natal, Brazil

Frasqueirão, officially Estádio Maria Lamas Farache, is ABC Futebol Clube's stadium in Natal, occupying 25,000 m² of the 110,000 m² Vila Olímpica Vicente Farache. It has four modules and a current capacity of 15,640 spectators. Module IV is named after striker Wallyson, whose sale to Atlético Paranaense funded its construction. The site also includes a 1,200-vehicle car park.

Works on Frasqueirão were completed in 2006 at a cost of R$ 12 million, of which R$ 210,000 was donated by the Rio Grande do Norte state government for the pitch. The inaugural match on 22 January 2006 ended 1-1 between ABC and Alecrim, with Alecrim's da Cunha scoring the stadium's first goal. The ground is named after Maria Lamas Farache, wife of former ABC chairman Vicente Farache.

The stadium is named after Maria Lamas Farache, wife of former ABC chairman Vicente Farache. Its nickname "Frasqueirão" comes from "A Frasqueira", a term rivals once used mockingly for ABC's fans, who adopted it; historian Luís da Câmara Cascudo noted "frasqueira" was the name for the place where enslaved people were transported on slave ships.

The stadium sits within the 110,000 m² Vila Olímpica Vicente Farache, split into four sectors: the 25,000 m² stadium, a 25,000 m² car park holding 1,200 vehicles, a 14,500 m² commercial area and the 45,500 m² club. Module 1 has two lifts carrying eight people (540 kg) each. Access roads and the training centre were paved for the 2014 World Cup.

The nickname "Frasqueirão" derives from "A Frasqueira", the name for ABC's supporters, a label rivals imposed as an insult that the fans adopted. Historian Luís da Câmara Cascudo noted that frasqueira was the term for the hold of slave ships.
