Milton de Souza Corrêa Stadium, Football stadium in Macapá, Brazil.
Milton de Souza Corrêa Stadium is a football arena in Macapá with a grass pitch measuring 345 by 223 feet (105 by 68 meters) and a modern roof structure over the main grandstand. The facility has a straightforward layout with rows of seating on one side of the playing field.
The facility opened on October 17, 1990, with a match between Independente and Trem, during which Mirandinha scored the inaugural goal in the northern hemisphere. Four years later, the arena received its current name to honor a local sports administrator.
The venue has carried the name of a local sports administrator since 1994 and is shared by several clubs from the region. On match days, spectators from different neighborhoods across the city gather and fill the covered grandstand.
The venue serves as home ground for several local clubs and sits in the northern part of the city. Visitors should note that the tropical climate of the region brings warm temperatures throughout the year.
The playing field sits close to the equatorial line, meaning each half of the pitch technically lies in a different hemisphere. This geographical feature makes matches here a rare experience for players and spectators alike.
