Ítalo Del Cima Stadium is a multi-purpose sports venue located in the Campo Grande neighborhood of western Rio de Janeiro. It historically served as the home ground for Campo Grande Atlético Clube, a professional football team. The stadium features a traditional oval bowl design characteristic of mid-20th-century Brazilian regional sports facilities. While currently utilized primarily for community sports, amateur football matches, and local events, it remains a notable landmark in the region's urban fabric. The site underwent periods of neglect and revitalization, reflecting the shifting fortunes of lower-division football in the state of Rio de Janeiro. It is integrated into the densely populated urban landscape along Rua Artur Rios.
