Arena Events+Venues has revealed its plans for the highly anticipated Flamengo Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to the club’s board of directors and members.

The company said the new project will be a milestone in Brazilian sports infrastructure and will leave a legacy for fans.

The designs were drawn up as Brazilian football club CR Flamengo submitted a winning bid to secure land at the Gasômetro site in Rio de Janeiro for its new stadium.

With a capacity of 78,000 fans, the stadium will combine innovative design, state-of-the-art technology, and a multifunctional vision that promises to impact the country’s football and cultural landscape.

The stadium’s concept draws inspiration from the culture of Rio de Janeiro and the passion of Flamengo fans, blending architectural solutions that balance functionality and emotion.

The Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, more commonly referred to as simply Flamengo, is a Brazilian multisports club based in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in the neighborhood of Gávea, best known for their professional football team.

The club plays in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, the top flight of the Brazilian football league system. They are one of two clubs to have never been relegated from the top division.

Flamengo is the most popular team in Brazil with more than 46.9 million fans, equivalent to 21.9 percent of the population that supports a team.

Designed to operate 365 days a year, the new stadium will host football matches and a variety of events, offering unique experiences for fans and tourists, including the Flamengo Museum, a Megastore, and a unique rooftop walkway with breathtaking views of the city.

Arena says the Flamengo Stadium project is seamlessly integrated into its surroundings, driving urban improvements in the area and stimulating the local economy.

The stadium will crown the Porto Maravilha tourist route, offering sports, entertainment, culture, hospitality, gastronomy, and spectacular views of the “Marvelous City.”

The stadium will deliver a unique experience, not only to fans through exceptional accessibility, comfort, and safety but also to tourists and visitors, creating a new destination for the city.

Furthermore, it will play a key role in enhancing the local area by encouraging human development, improving traffic connections, and fostering vibrant nightlife and weekend activities in its vicinity.
