Estádio Serra Dourada is afootballstadium inaugurated on March 9, 1975 inGoiânia,Goiás,Brazil. It was designed by thePritzker Prize-winning Brazilian architectPaulo Mendes da Rocha. The stadium is owned by the Goiás state Government and primarily hosts state matches.Vila Nova,Goias Esporte Clube andAtlético Goianiense all have their own stadiums which they use for most league games, but for derbies and other big games they move to the Serra Dourada.[3]
Serra Dourada was completed in 1975 and was inaugurated on March 9 of that same year. It was one of the venues of the1989 Copa América. The stadium was also the neutral ground used byCONMEBOL in the 1981Copa Libertadores group stage replay match betweenFlamengo andAtlético Mineiro, in which Flamengo was declared the winner by CONMEBOL, after five Atlético Mineiro players were sent off byrefereeJosé Roberto Wright.
The inaugural match was played on March 9, 1975, when Goiás State All-Stars beat thePortugal national team 2-1. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Portugal's Octávio. The inauguration match also marked the stadium's attendance record, at 79,610.[4]
The inauguration of Serra Dourada opened the way forGoiás Esporte Clube supremacy in the Goiás State Championship. From 1975 onwards (the so-called "Serra Dourada Era") the club won the State Championship seventeen times, whileGoiânia, once the biggest team in the state, would never win the championship again.
