History
The stadium was built in 1976. It was inaugurated on 14 March of that year. The stadium bleachers were originally a metallic structure, but in August 2001, the stadium reformation started, and the metallic structure was replaced by a masonry structure. This expanded the stadium maximum capacity from 15,000 to 21,000.
The inaugural match was played on 14 March 1976, when Volta Redonda beat Botafogo 3–2. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Volta Redonda's Mauro.
The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 24.509, set on 1 May 1977 when Vasco beat Volta Redonda 1–0.
The stadium was also the home ground of Fluminense during the 2005 Campeonato Brasileiro, and of Flamengo and Fluminense for selected matches during the 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro.
