The stadium holds 3,000 people, and its ground is artificial grass with its size being 106 x 68 metres.

[1] The stadium is operated by the São Nicolau Regional Football Association (ARFSN).

The stadium was completed in the 1980s or the 1990s and had a single seat in the west and was dirt, later it may have natural grass.

Until that time, clubs based in the parish of São Francisco do Assís and also later the municipality of Tarrafal de São Nicolau played at Estádio João de Deus (Dideus)[4] northeast in the island capital of Ribeira Brava.

One of two semifinal legs which was supposed to take place at the stadium as access was shut as the stadium had no keys, Mindelense was unofficially awarded 0-3 which led to Ultramarina to appeal, the award to Mindelense was revoked.
