Vila Olímpica Elzir Cabral

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 ground was featured on official postcards in 1990 and 1997, making it the only football stadium in Ceará to receive this honor. These postcards are now rare mementos for collectors and supporters.
