Stadiums and sports facilities Salvador

The Fonte Nova Arena, built for the 2014 World Cup, replaced its predecessor, the Octavio Mangabeira Stadium, which was razed in the summer of 2010. With a capacity of just over 47,000 people, it is a modern structure that in addition to hosting football matches - including the Ba-Vi classico (named after the two Bahian Serie A clubs Esporte Clube Bahia and Esporte Clube Vitória - can be converted into a venue for shows and concerts.
