Estádio Leônidas Sodré de Castro (Curuzu) / Estádio Olímpico do Pará (Mangueirão)
Belém, Brazil
Formerly: Estádio Alacid Nunes
Three clubs call the Mangueirão home — Clube do Remo, Paysandu Sport Club and Tuna Luso Brasileira. Paysandu has its own place across the city, the Estádio Leônidas Sodré de Castro in the Curuzu district, but the big fixtures come here.
That room was the point from the beginning. The Pará state government built the stadium under Governor Alacid Nunes, to a design by the architect Alcyr Meira, and named it after the governor. The name that stuck came from outside officialdom: the journalist Moacir Calandrini coined Mangueirão. The formal title changed in 2002, when a rebuild added an Olympic track and seating and the ground became the Estádio Olímpico do Pará.
Its largest crowd predates both rebuilds — 65,000 on 11 July 1999, for the Campeonato Paraense final, Remo winning 1–0 against Paysandu. Four years later, more than 57,000 watched Paysandu lose 4–2 to Boca Juniors in the Copa Libertadores, and in 2011 Brazil beat Argentina 2–0 here.
The 2023 works, paid for by the state, took out the benches for individual retractable seats, extended the roof and laid a Bermuda Celebration pitch over new drainage and irrigation. The post-renovation record followed on 29 September 2024: 54,864 for Remo against São Bernardo in Campeonato Brasileiro Série C. In 2025 the ground staged the Supercopa do Brasil final, Botafogo against Flamengo.
