Vila Olímpica Elzir Cabral, Football stadium in Barra do Ceará, Fortaleza, Brazil.
Vila Olímpica Elzir Cabral is a football stadium in Barra do Ceará with a capacity of around 8,000 and facilities including underground locker rooms, lighting towers, and broadcasting booths. The ground features a sophisticated drainage system designed to maintain the pitch in good condition.
The ground opened in 1989 and became the first privately owned stadium certified by Brazil's football authority in Ceará state. The opening match saw Ferroviário achieve a decisive victory against Guarani de Juazeiro.
The ground is the home of Ferroviário Atlético Clube and serves as a major sports gathering point in one of Fortaleza's traditional working-class neighborhoods. You can feel the local passion for football throughout match days.
The facility provides ample parking for cars and separate ticket windows when you arrive. Inside you will find bathrooms, food and drink vendors, and medical staff on-site during events.
The SOCOPE collectors' society issued two postcards of the ground, in 1990 and 1997. Along with cards of Estádio Olímpico Horácio Domingos de Sousa and Castelão, these are the only official postcards of Ceará football clubs.
