The Estádio do Pacaembu (sometimes spelled Pacambu ) is a football stadium in the Brazilian city of São Paulo . It has space for a good 42,000 spectators and was the home of the Corinthians São Paulo and Palmeiras São Paulo clubs until the 2014 World Cup .
history
The Estádio do Pacaembu in São Paulo was built in 1938 and opened on September 17th of the same year. The first game in the new stadium took place between Palmeiras São Paulo and Coritiba FC . Palmeiras, which was then called Palestra Itália , won this game 6-2. The first goal, however, succeeded Zéquinha from Coritiba in the second minute of the game. Two years later, the final of the Taça Cidade de São Paulo took place in the Estádio do Pacaembu, in which one user of the stadium, Palmeiras, won the title with a 2: 1 against the other user, Corinthians. At that time, the Estádio do Pacaembu still held 70,000 spectators. Since it was the largest stadium in São Paulo at the time, some games of the 1950 World Cup were also held here. In this stadium three preliminary round matches and three final round matches took place at the World Cup. In 1963 the Estádio do Pacaembu was the venue for the Pan American Games , the continental sports championship of America. For this event, the stadium was renovated for the first time and the capacity increased. A second renovation followed in 1970. Work was last done on the stadium in 2006, when the capacity was reduced to the 42,730 seats that are still in force today.
use
The Estádio do Pacaembu was used by the two clubs Corinthians São Paulo and Palmeiras São Paulo as a venue for their home games until mid-2014 . Corinthians played in this stadium regularly, although they occasionally moved to the Estádio Alfredo Schürig . However, Corinthians moved to the newly built Corinthians Arena after the 2014 World Cup .
Palmeiras also played in the Estádio do Pacaembu until 2014, as Palmeira's home stadium, the Estádio Palestra Itália , was demolished in July 2010. At the end of November 2014, Palmeiras also moved into a new stadium, the newly built Allianz Parque multifunctional arena .
Corona hospital
In the wake of the corona pandemic , the regional government of São Paulo set up an emergency hospital on the lawn of the stadium in April 2020 on the initiative of Governor João Doria and Mayor Bruno Covas . These are two long tents with beds and treatment rooms.
Football museum
The Museu do Futebol , built by the architect Muro Munhoz, has been located inside the Estádio do Pacaembu since 2008 .
