Castelao

Castelão dominates as the largest stadium in northeastern Brazil, hosting over 67,000 spectators for top-tier matches. This concrete-and-steel coliseum in Fortaleza serves as the home ground for both Ceara and Fortaleza clubs, drawing an average attendance of 48,000 per game in 2025. Its 30,000 additional seats compared to Arena Fonte Nova (#10) make it the region's clear capacity leader, while the newly installed LED pitch lighting cuts energy consumption by 20% versus the league average. The stadium's open concourses and retractable roof keep fans cool even during 35°C heatwaves, a design that outperforms every other venue in the Northeast region.
