Estadio Municipal Arsénio Ramos, Municipal stadium in Sal Rei, Cape Verde.
Estádio Municipal Arsénio Ramos is a football and athletics ground in Sal Rei, Cape Verde, with a 104 m × 66 m artificial pitch and a capacity of 500. It sits at the town's northeastern edge, near the perimeter road and the island's industrial area. It is the home ground of Académica Operária, Sal-Rei, Sanjoanense and Sporting.
The stadium opened on 9 February 2008 with a triangular football tournament between the island of Boa Vista, Sal and São Vicente selections. It replaced the old football field at the western end of Sal Rei, next to the port and the Atlantic; a basketball court and small residential complexes now occupy that site.
The stadium serves as a meeting place for local football clubs and their supporters, where the sport plays a central role in community gatherings and celebrations. Matches bring together fans from across the island who take their teams seriously.
The stadium sits northeast of the town center near beaches and hotels, making it easy to reach. The venue welcomes visitors interested in watching football matches or regional athletic competitions.
Beyond football, the venue hosts regional athletics competitions, serving as a hub for multiple sports on the island. This dual purpose makes it more than just a single-sport facility.
