Pavilhão Comendador Adelino Dias Costa

The Pavilhão Comendador Adelino Dias Costa is an indoor hall in Avanca, a parish within the municipality of Estarreja, where the local handball club Associação Artística de Avanca plays its matches.

It opened in January 1995, replacing an outdoor court that the club had used since 1956. The playing surface is a wooden parquet floor, which has occasionally been noted as slippery due to rain ingress affecting the building's integrity.

The renovations in June 2005 brought a new floor and remodeled the stands and locker rooms, but the fundamental layout remains unchanged. The capacity is reported as 400 seats by Wikipedia and 500 seats by OStadium.com. The arena regularly hosts matches in the Andebol 1, including games against major clubs like Sporting CP and FC Porto.

The venue is named after Adelino Dias Costa, a founder of the local furniture industry and a Comendador da Ordem do Mérito. The matches are played, the players turn on the parquet, and the rain finds its way through the ceiling when it rains.
