History
The stadium was built in 32 days, after a popular movement led by the club's president Nabi Abi Chedid.[2] It was initially named Estádio Parque das Pedras, then just Estádio das Pedras.[2] The inaugural match was played in 1949, when Bragantino beat Mogina of Campinas 2–1.[6] The first goal of the stadium was scored by Bragantino's Sacadura.[6]
The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 15,000 people, set on August 26, 1990 when Bragantino and Novorizontino drew 1–1.[6] This match was one of the legs of the Campeonato Paulista final of that year.[6]
The second leg of the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A final between Bragantino and São Paulo was played on June 9, 1991 at the stadium.[3] The match ended in a 0–0 draw, and São Paulo won the championship. The match attendance was 12,492 people, which is the lowest attendance ever in a Campeonato Brasileiro final.[3]
The stadium was renamed to Estádio Nabi Abi Chedid on January 6, 2009.[5] It was formerly named Estádio Marcelo Stéfani.[2] The name change was badly received by the Bragança Paulista population.[5]
