The Estádio Luso Brasileiro, or Ilha do Urubu, formerly known as Arena Petrobras, Arena Botafogo and Estádio da Ilha do Governador, is a football stadium inaugurated on 2 October 1965 in Ilha do Governador neighborhood, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro state. The maximum capacity of the stadium is of 4,697 spectators, expanded to 17,250 due to renovations made by Botafogo so it can use it as its home ground for the 2016 Brazilian Série A and once again expanded to 20,500 made by Flamengo in 2017. The stadium is owned by Portuguesa. The stadium was also the home ground of Flamengo and Botafogo during the 2005 Brazilian Série A.
History
The stadium was built in 1965. It was inaugurated on October 1, 1965. The stadium originally had a maximum capacity of only 5,000 people.
(2005)
In 2005, while Maracanã was being reformed, Luso-Brasileiro stadium was also reformed, with the help of Flamengo, Botafogo, Petrobras, and the state of Rio de Janeiro government. This expanded the stadium maximum capacity from 5,000 to 30,000, and the stadium was adopted as the home ground of Flamengo and Botafogo during the 2005 Campeonato Brasileiro. The Luso Brasileiro was reformed to allow Flamengo and Botafogo to play their home matches closer to their supporters.
(2016)
Botafogo showed interest in using the stadium again during the 2016 Campeonato Brasileiro for their home matches, as Engenhão was being prepared to host the Summer Olympics and therefore unable to receive any kind of events, including league matches, until the end of the Olympics. In April 2016 Botafogo agreed with Portuguesa-RJ to use the stadium until the end of 2016 season,[1] Botafogo renovated the stadium and expanded the capacity to around 17,250 with provisory stands with the minimum of works to make the process quicker. The club spent about R$5 million with the stadium expansion.[2]
Botafogo played a total of 11 Série A matches and another two Copa do Brasil matches at the stadium during 2016 with an average attendance of 8,994 per match.
Average league attendances
(2017−)On November 2016 Flamengo came to terms with Portuguesa-RJ and signed a three-year contract to use the stadium starting in 2017.[3] Flamengo planned to use the stadium as cover solution due to the complicated situation between the club, the Rio de Janeiro state government and Complexo Maracanã Entretenimento S.A. (composed of Odebrecht, IMX, AEG), the operator of Maracanã Stadium. Flamengo intend to expand the capacity up to 20,500 being able to host most of the matches in the upcoming years. The club also expect to inject around R$12m with sponsor partnerships, including the naming rights. The first part in the stadium renovation was in January 2017 with the relaying of the ground.[4] During the stadium renovations the works suffered a series of delays including the discovery of problems with water pipes under one of the stands which created a big hole on the ground.[5] Bureaucratic problems with the authorization to use the stadium also caused another delay in it's debut from May to June.[6] Finally, after a long waiting from the club's supporters, Flamengo was able to debut in the stadium on 14 June 2017 against Ponte Preta in a Brazilian Série A match, Flamengo won 2-0 with an attendance of 13,981 people.[7] References
