The Estádio Nilton Santos (English: ''Nilton Santos Stadium'') is a multi-use stadium located in the neighbourhood of Engenho de Dentro in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is used mostly for football matches and athletics and is the home field of the football club Botafogo. The stadium will be an athletics venue for the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2016 Summer Paralympics.〔 The stadium is known by a number of names. The nickname Engenhão ((:ẽʒẽˈɲɐ̃w̃)) refers to the location of the stadium. Since 2015 the Rio municipality has allowed Botafogo to refer to the stadium as Estádio Nilton Santos (English: ''Nilton Santos Stadium''). The name honors Nilton Santos, regarded as one of the greatest defenders in the history of the game and a member of the World Team of the 20th Century. The stadium was built by a consortium under the leadership of Odebrecht S.A..〔 The stadium is scheduled to host the athletics competitions at the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Paralympics. Structural problems in the roof were identified in March 2013 that caused the stadium to be closed for repair. The stadium's capacity is intended to be increased to 60,000 for the Games. ==History== The stadium cost (US$192 million)〔As per the average exchange rate in 2007.〕 to build, which was six times the stadium's original construction budget of $60,000,000〔 The Mayor's office estimated in 2003 that the total construction cost would be of R$60 million (US$30 million), the actual cost was thus 533% higher than early estimates.〔estádio olimpico de atletismo detalhado e demarcado〕 The stadium's official name was "Estádio Olímpico João Havelange" (João Havelange Olympic Stadium) until 2015 when the official name became "Estádio Nilton Santos" (Nilton Santos Stadium) by request of Botafogo, the owner of the stadium. The stadium opened on 30 June 2007. The first match held was a Campeonato Brasileiro Série A game between Botafogo and Fluminense. 40,000 tickets were available for the match and were exchanged for donations of powdered milk. In all, 43,810 people were at the stadium to watch the inaugurating match, where Botafogo beat Fluminense 2-1. The first goal of the match was scored by Fluminense's Alex Dias. As Dias scored the first goal in the stadium's history, he was awarded the Valdir Pereira Trophy (''Taça Valdir Pereira''), which was named after retired footballer Didi. Because Botafogo won the stadium's inaugural match, the club was awarded the João Havelange Trophy (''Taça João Havelange''). On 3 August 2007, Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas signed a deal with the City of Rio de Janeiro to rent the stadium for 20 years.〔 Botafogo was the only organization to present a bid; the club agreed to pay $18.200 (or R$36.000) a month to rent ''Engenhão'', plus maintenance costs which run at $2 million (or R$4 million) annually.〔 On 11 August 2007, a 15-meter long and 6-meter high stadium wall collapsed, but nobody was hurt. On 10 September 2008, the Brazilian national team played for the first time at the Engenhão. The match, against Bolivia, for 2010 World Cup Qualification, ended 0-0. The stadium remains owned by the City of Rio de Janeiro, but it has been rented to Botafogo until at least 2027 (20 years). The Engenhão was the main venue for top-football competitions in Rio de Janeiro while the Maracanã Stadium was under reform in preparations for the upcoming 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics; the Flamengo and Fluminense clubs played their home matches at the Engenhão from the 2010-11 through 2012-13 seasons. The stadium was closed indefinitely in March 2013 after it was found the structural integrity of the roof was not up to standard, and could potentially place spectators at risk. It was announced on 8 June 2013, that the stadium will need a minimum of 18 months of reconstruction work and remain closed until 2015 while the repairs are carried out to the roof. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Estádio Olímpico João Havelange」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
