Estadio Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biase
Novo Horizonte, Brazil
Estádio Dr. Jorge Ismael de Biase sits in Novo Horizonte, São Paulo. It is the home of Grêmio Novorizontino.
The playing surface is natural grass, and the maintenance is handled by World Sports. That same company looks after the pitch at Arena Corinthians. In 2020, the coaching staff at Corinthians complained that the ball refused to stay on the ground, claiming the surface was uneven. The local club defended the pitch, stating it was in normal condition for a match of this level.
The atmosphere on a final day is different. The stadium hosted the second leg of the 2025/2026 Campeonato Paulista final against Palmeiras. Before that, the attendance record was set during the first leg of the 1990 final against Bragantino, a game that ended in a 1–1 draw.
Matches against top-tier sides, such as the Copa do Brasil fixture against Corinthians, draw attention to the facility.
