The Vivaldão was owned by the government of Amazonas state. The stadium was named after Vivaldo Lima, who was the founder of Nacional Fast Clube and it was the home ground of América Futebol Clube (AM), Nacional Futebol Clube and Atlético Rio Negro Clube.

The stadium was demolished in 2011 and replaced by the Arena da Amazônia.

History

In 1970, construction of the Vivaldão was completed. The inaugural match was played on April 5 of that year, when Brazil national football team B beat Amazonas State All-Stars team B 4-1, followed by the match of the teams A, also 4-1. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Brazil B's Dadá Maravilha.

The stadium's record attendance was 56,950, set on March 9, 1980 when Fast Clube and New York Cosmos of the United States drew 0-0.

Demolition

On May 31, 2009, Manaus was chosen as one of the host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The city's project involved the demolition of the Vivaldão, and a new stadium built in its place, the Arena da Amazônia, with a capacity of 41,000 people. About R$580,000,000 was invested in the construction of the new stadium, which will include sport and recreation areas and a shopping mall.

The stadium was closed on March 19, 2010, and demolition began on July 12.
