History
The stadium was opened on September 5, 1965 with a match between the national team of Minas Gerais and the Argentine River Plate . The opening of the arena is associated with the rise of football in the state. A year later, Cruzeiro won the Brazil Cup - the only national tournament for the national teams at that time, and in 1971 Atletico Mineiro became the first Brazilian champion .
In preparation for the 2014 World Cup, the stadium renovation program was implemented according to the same principle as it was done with the Olympic Stadium in Berlin , that is, while maintaining the original appearance and improving the internal infrastructure of the facility. Reconstruction of the stadium was completed on December 22, 2012, when its official opening took place. [one]
