Estádio Maria Lamas Farache, popularly known as Frasqueirão, is the official home stadium of ABC Futebol Clube in Natal, Brazil. Inaugurated in 2006, it features a capacity of approximately 15,000 spectators. The stadium is located within the Ponta Negra district, making it one of the few professional football arenas situated near major tourist beach zones. Its playing surface measures 105 by 68 meters. The structure was named in honor of Maria Lamas Farache, a prominent figure in the history of the local club. It serves as a multipurpose venue primarily focused on professional football matches in the Campeonato Potiguar and national leagues. The stadium underwent modernization efforts in the early 2010s to improve fan facilities and structural safety.
