History

In 1991, the works on the stadium were completed. It was named Estádio Wilson Fernandes de Barros, after a Mogi Mirim Esporte Clube's president, and city's mayor. The inaugural match was played on July 7 of that year, when Mogi Mirim beat Palmeiras 4-2. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Mogi Mirim's Demetrius.

In 2005, the stadium was renamed to Estádio Papa João Paulo II, after Pope John Paul II. After some years, the stadium was renamed to Estádio Romildo Vitor Gomes Ferreira.
