Estádio Joaquim de Almeida Flores
Nilópolis, Brazil
The ground in the Nova Cidade area of Nilópolis is distinguished by the contrast between its history and its current use. It was opened in 1941 and the Estádio Joaquim de Almeida Flores has stood as a fixture in the community ever since.
The stadium is situated at Rua Arnaldo Tavares, 262. It serves as the primary home ground for Esporte Clube Nova Cidade, the club that owns the venue. The pitch is natural grass, which was fully recovered in 2018 according to reports from the Rio de Janeiro Football Federation (FERJ).
Official records list the capacity at 5,000 spectators, a figure citing the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF). The ground also hosts other teams from the state league, such as Mesquita and União Central, when they lack their own facilities.
The stadium is sometimes referred to by shorter names, but these are abbreviations rather than formal changes. There is no active official website for the venue; the club relies on third-party statistics sites and local news outlets to communicate match information.
