History

The stadium was built in a groundplot donated by Ítalo del Cima family. The stadium was inaugurated in 1960. Originally, Ítalo del Cima was a covered stadium, but a windstorm, in 1972, destroyed part of the stadium covering. Nowadays only the social chairs of the stadium are covered.

The inaugural match was played on April 29, 1960, when Campo Grande beat Oriente 2-0. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Campo Grande's Naldo Pires.

The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 16,842, set on April 21, 1982 when Campo Grande beat CSA
