The stadium was officially inaugurated on January 18, 2009, with two games.[4] The first game was an all-star game, in which players such as Carlos Alberto Torres, Ricardo Rocha, Vampeta, and Adílio participated.[4] The second game was a friendly game between Tigres do Brasil and Danubio of Uruguay. The game ended 4–4.[4] The first official competition game played in the stadium was the Campeonato Carioca game between Tigres do Brasil and Vasco, played on January 28, 2009.[2] Vasco won 4–0.[2]
