Estádio da Calheta is a multi-purpose stadium in the village of Veneza (not far from the center) northwest of the town limits of Calheta de São Miguel in São Miguel, Cape Verde, just off the Praia-Pedra Badejo-Tarrafal Road (EN1-ST02).

Construction was completed around the late 2000s and clubs based in the municipality started to play at the stadium.

The 2016-17 Santiago North Premier Division went to uncertainty as the field (AJAC) and Estádio Municipal 25 de Julho (Benfica Santa Cruz) were going to be used for the 2017 national football championships.

AJAC fielded a suspended player Marco Aurélio during a match with Juventus which they originally won 2-4 which was played in Estádio de Cumbém on April 1, the 16th round.

As a result, on May 11, Benfica de Santa Cruz were crowned champions and its matches for the 2017 season will be played at its home stadium 25 de Julho while AJAC was punished by the regional association[1] and would have been relegated into the Second Division in the following season for being fake champions.
