Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos is a multi-purpose stadium located in the neighbourhood of Engenho de Dentro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Nilton Santos is the home stadium of Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, where games from the Copa Libertadores, Brasileirão, Copa do Brasil and other championships take place. It is used mostly for football matches and it hosted the athletics competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Paralympics.[4] The stadium was built from 2003 through to 2007, opening in time for the 2007 Pan American Games.[5] [6] [7] The stadium was one of the five venues for the 2021 Copa América.
The stadium is known by Nilton Santos. The nickname Engenhão ([ẽʒeˈɲɐ̃w] ) refers to the location of the stadium in Engenho de Dentro neighbourhood. The previous name of the stadium was João Havelange Stadium, since 2015 the name is Estádio Nilton Santos (English: Nilton Santos Stadium). The name honors Nílton Santos, whom spent his whole career with Botafogo and is regarded as one of the greatest defenders in the history of the game and a member of the World Team of the 20th Century.[8] In February 2017, the city of Rio de Janeiro officially renamed the stadium Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos.[9] Structural problems in the roof were identified in March 2013 that caused the stadium to be closed for repair, it was reopened in 2015. The stadium's capacity was increased to 60,000 for the Games.[10]
History
[edit ]Construction and opening
[edit ]
The stadium cost R380ドル million (US192ドル million)[11] to build, which was six times the stadium's original construction budget of R60,000,000ドル[2] The Mayor's office estimated in 2003 that the total construction cost would be of R60ドル million (US30ドル million);[12] [13] the actual cost was thus 533% higher than early estimates.[14]
The stadium opened on 30 June 2007. The first match held was a Campeonato Brasileiro Série A game between Botafogo and Fluminense. 40,000 tickets were available for the match and were exchanged for donations of powdered milk.[15] In all, 43,810 people were at the stadium to watch the inaugurating match, where Botafogo beat Fluminense 2–1. The first goal of the match was scored by Fluminense's Alex Dias. As Dias scored the first goal in the stadium's history, he was awarded the Valdir Pereira Trophy (Taça Valdir Pereira), which was named after retired footballer Didi. Because Botafogo won the stadium's inaugural match, the club was awarded the João Havelange Trophy (Taça João Havelange).[16]
Pan American Games, Botafogo, and the Olympics
[edit ]During the course of the 2007 Pan American Games held in Rio de Janeiro in July, the stadium hosted athletics competitions, in addition to twelve games of the first stage of the men's and women's football tournaments.[17] After the conclusion of the games, on 3 August 2007, Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas signed a deal with the City of Rio de Janeiro to lease the stadium for 20 years.[18] Botafogo was the only organization to present a bid; the club agreed to pay 18ドル.200 (or R36ドル.000) a month to lease Engenhão, plus maintenance costs which run at 2ドル million (or R4ドル million) annually.[2] On 11 August 2007, a 15-meter long and 6-meter high stadium wall collapsed, but nobody was hurt.[19] On 10 September 2008, the Brazilian national team played for the first time at the Engenhão.[20] The match, against Bolivia, for 2010 World Cup Qualification, ended 0–0.[21]
The stadium remains owned by the City of Rio de Janeiro, but it has been leased to Botafogo until at least 2051 (20 years).[18] The Engenhão was the main venue for top football competitions in Rio de Janeiro while the Maracanã Stadium was being renovated in preparation for both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics. Flamengo and Fluminense played their home matches at the Engenhão from the 2010–11 through 2012–13 seasons. The stadium was closed during two years in March 2013 after it was found the structural integrity of the roof was not up to standard.[22] It was announced on 8 June 2013, that the stadium would need a minimum of 18 months of reconstruction work and remain closed until 2015 while the repairs were carried out to the roof.[23] The Stadium was reopened since 2015 for the Olympic Games Rio 2016
