Serejão

Serejão sits in Taguatinga, a satellite city of Brasília. The ground has lived through more than just the years since 1978. It has seen Flamengo come through for a Campeonato Brasileiro match. It has hosted real football.

The crowd presses close to the touchline. Brasiliense Futebol Clube and Taguatinga Esporte Clube both call this their home, and on nights when they need the points badly , the place gets loud.

The nickname Boca do Jacaré sticks to the place because Brasiliense’s mascot is a crocodile, but the official name remains Estádio Elmo Serejo Farias, after the former governor who saw it built.
