The Maracanã Stadium ((ポルトガル語:Estádio do Maracanã), standard Brazilian Portuguese: (:esˈtadʒi.u du maɾakɐˈnɐ̃), local pronunciation: (:iʃˈtadʒu du mɐˌɾakɐˈnɐ̃)) (stress on the last syllable), also known as Maracanã, officially Estádio Jornalista Mário Filho (), is a football stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The stadium is part of a complex that includes an arena known by the name of ''Maracanãzinho'', which means "the Little Maracanã" in Portuguese. Owned by the Rio de Janeiro state government, it is, as is the Maracanã neighborhood where it is located, named after the Rio Maracanã, a now canalized river in Rio de Janeiro. It was opened in 1950 to host the FIFA World Cup, in which Brazil was beaten 2–1 by Uruguay in the deciding game. Since then, it has mainly been used for football matches between the major football clubs in Rio de Janeiro, including Flamengo, Fluminense, Botafogo and Vasco da Gama. It has also hosted a number of concerts and other sporting events. The total attendance at the final game of the 1950 FIFA World Cup was 199,854, making it the world's largest stadium by capacity (when it was inaugurated). After its 2010–13 renovation, the rebuilt stadium currently seats 78,838 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Brazil and the second in South America after Estadio Monumental in Peru. It was the main venue of the 2007 Pan American Games, hosting the football tournament and the opening and closing ceremonies. The Maracanã was partially rebuilt in preparation for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup, and the 2014 World Cup, where the final of the latter competition was held. It will also be the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics. ==Name== The official name of the stadium, Mário Filho, was given in honor of an old Pernambucan journalist, (the brother of Nelson Rodrigues), who was a strong vocal supporter of the construction of the Maracanã. The stadium's popular name is derived from the Maracanã River, whose point of origin is in the jungle covered hills to the west, crossing various ''bairros'' (neighborhoods) of Rio's ''Zona Norte'' (North Zone) such as Tijuca and São Cristóvão via a canal which features sloping sides constructed of concrete. Upon flowing into the ''Canal do Mangue'', it empties into Guanabara Bay. The name ''Maracanã'' derives from the indigenous Tupi–Guarani word for a type of parrot which inhabited the region. The stadium construction was prior to the formation of the Maracanã neighborhood that was once part of Tijuca. 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「Maracanã Stadium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
