The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposite team by moving the ball beyond the goal line into a rectangular-framed goal defended by the opposing side. Traditionally, the game has been played over two 45-minute halves, for a total match time of 90 minutes. With an estimated 250 million players active in over 200 countries and territories, it is considered the world's most popular sport.

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]
