The Estádio Municipal João Havelange, also known as Parque do Sabiá ("Thrush Park"), is a multi-use stadium in Uberlândia, Brazil. It is currently used mostly for football matches. It is the home ground of Uberlândia Esporte Clube and Clube Atlético Portal, and is the biggest stadium in Minas Gerais state countryside. The stadium was built in 1982 and is able to hold 50,000 people. It is owned by the Uberlândia City Hall. The stadium is named after João Havelange, who is a former president of FIFA. ==History== The stadium was inaugurated on May 27, 1982, as Parque do Sabiá (meaning Thrush's Park). In 1995, the stadium was renamed to Estádio Municipal João Havelange (João Havelange Municipal Stadium), after a suggestion of the city councilor Leonídio Bouças. However, the name change was not very popular among the city's football fans, and the stadium is still commonly called the Parque do Sabiá. The inaugural match was played on May 27, 1982, when the Brazil national football team beat the Republic of Ireland national football team 7–0. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Brazil's Falcão. The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 80,000, set on the inaugural match. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Estádio Parque do Sabiá」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
