Stadium Information

The Manoel Barradas Stadium, popularly known as Barradão, is the stadium of Esporte Clube Vitória, located in the Canabrava neighborhood, in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Inaugurated on November 11, 1986, its construction marked a turning point in the club's history, consolidating its presence in Brazilian football. The stadium was built on land donated by the then mayor of Salvador, Clériston Andrade, and had the financial support of the state government during João Durval Carneiro's administration. Its name pays homage to Manoel Barradas, former president and advisor of the club, who played a crucial role in the project realization.

With an official capacity that varies according to sources between 29,168 and 35,980 spectators, Barradão has witnessed historic moments for Vitória. The attendance record was set in 2000, when 55,200 fans watched a match against Juazeiro. Over the years, the stadium has witnessed the club's evolution, from its participation in Serie C to its consolidation in the elite of Brazilian football.

The design of Barradão is distinctive, with a horseshoe-shaped structure that harmoniously integrates into the natural terrain. This configuration not only provides excellent visibility from all stands but also contributes to a vibrant atmosphere during matches. The stadium is part of the Benedito Dourado da Luz Sports Complex, which includes training fields, medical facilities, and youth development areas, consolidating Vitória as an institution committed to the sporting and social growth of the region.
