Estádio da Várzea is a multi-purpose stadium in Praia, Cape Verde, just west of Plateau, the city center, in the subdivision of Várzea and on Avenida Cidade de Lisboa on its east side. It is currently used mostly for football matches. The stadium holds 8,000 people. The stadium is owned by the city of Praia and is operated by the Santiago South Regional Football Association and serves its headquarters of the association. The other stadium operated by the association in the south of the island is Calabaceira.
The entrance is on the west side of the stadium, where most of the seating is. The stadium has seat rows in the left and right sides, 200 meters east is Plateau, the city center. Its size is 108 by 69 meters, the longest part of the field goes north to south with a 15-degree angle facing east at the top. Its elevation is about 4 meters above sea level. A smaller practice field lies due south.
The stadium is the home of some of the best football clubs in Cabo Verde: Sporting Praia, CD Travadores, Académica and Boavista FC from the Santiago Island first division. League games often take place in front of dozens of spectators. Vitória FC, Desportivo da Praia and Benfica Praia also use the venue for home games. Other clubs that base in another part include ADESBA located in the nearby neighborhood of Craveiro Lopes some hundreds of meters north but play in the stadium.
