Clubs: EC Bahia | Opening: 2013 | Capacity: 53,700 seats<\/p>\n
The Arena Fonte Nova, for sponsorship reasons called Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova,\u00a0was built to serve as one of the playing venues for the 2014 World Cup.<\/p>\n
The new arena replaced the old Est\u00e1dio Fonte Nova<\/a>, which had stood at the same place, and\u00a0was designed to resemble the old\u00a0stadium with one of the ends left open to provide for a view over the adjacent lake.<\/p>\nEst\u00e1dio Fonte Nova got demolished in 2010, and construction of the new stadium took about two-and-a-half years. It got completed in early 2013 and officially opened on 5 April 2013. The first match, a friendly between local rivals Bahia and Vit\u00f3ria, was played two days later.<\/p>\nDuring the\u00a02014 World Cup<\/a>, the Arena Fonte Nova hosted six matches, including the quarter-final between the Netherlands and Costa Rica (0-0). It was also one of the six playing venues of the 2013 Confederations Cup.<\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\nHow to get to Arena Fonte Nova<\/h3>\nItaipava Arena Fonte Nova is located on the eastern edge of Salvador’s historic centre and can therefore be walked to from most central places.<\/p>\nAddress: Arena Fonte Nova, Salvador, Bahia<\/p>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"eat-drink-and-sleep-near-arena-fonte-nova\">Eat, drink, and sleep near Arena Fonte Nova<\/h3>\n<p>The Arena Fonte Nova is located right on the edge of Salvador’s picturesque historic centre (Pelourinho), which has the added benefit of being full of bars and restaurants.
