Arena Pernambuco

Arena Pernambuco (Portuguese: Arena de Pernambuco), officially named Estadio Governador Carlos Wilson Campos, is a multi-use stadium with a capacity of 46,154 spectators located in the western suburbs of the Recife metropolitan area, in Sao Lourenco da Mata, Brazil. It is mostly used for football matches and was notably used to host some matches during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

In 2012 Clube Nautico Capibaribe, one of three professional football clubs in the Recife metro area, signed into agreement to become part owners of the new stadium. Beginning in July 2013, Clube Nautico Capibaribe will play all of their home games at Itaipava Arena Pernambuco. The stadium was previously known as Itaipava Arena Pernambuco under a sponsorship arrangement with brewing company Grupo Petropolis between 2013 and 2016.
