Estádio da Gávea, Flamengo

Estádio da Gávea, Flamengo

This is the Estádio José Bastos Padilha, nominally the home of the Flamengo Football Club, also known as the Estádio da Gávea. Flamengo play their home matches at the much larger Estádio do Maracanã leaving the 1938 Estádio da Gávea as their training ground.
