The multi-purpose stadium in the city center has a capacity for 8,000 spectators. It is named after Onésio Brasileiro Alvarenga, a former player and official who contributed significantly to the professionalisation of the club.

Estádio Serra Dourada

The Estádio do Governo do Estado de Goiás , usually called Serra Dourada , is the largest stadium in Goiás and belongs to the state government. It was built until 1975 according to a plan by the architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha , who was later awarded the Pritzker Prize . Originally the stadium held around 80,000 spectators, but modernizations, increased comfort and more security have reduced the current capacity to 50,000.

Vila Nova uses the Serra Dourada ("Golden Mountains") whenever the expected audience demand justifies it. The local competitors Goiás EC and Atlético Goianiense also use the stadium.
