Estádio do Junco

Estádio do Junco is a football stadium in Sobral in the state of Ceará with modern concrete stands and seating for around 25,000 spectators. The facility includes separate changing rooms for female officials, a press area, and climate-controlled zones for comfort.

The stadium opened in 1970 under Mayor Jerônimo Medeiros Prado with an opening match between Guarany de Sobral and América from Fortaleza. It marked the beginning of a long history as a major venue for sporting events in the region.

The stadium is closely tied to local football club Guarany de Sobral and has served the city as a gathering place for major matches for decades. Here fans and players come together for championships and derbys that hold deep meaning for the community.

The venue is easily accessible and offers sufficient infrastructure for spectators, including separate areas for different visitor groups. It is advisable to arrive early to secure a good spot and allow time to navigate the various entry levels.

In 2000 this was the first venue to host a Campeonato Cearense final outside the state capital, marking a turning point in the region's sports history. The event demonstrated that major competitions could be successfully held in smaller cities.
