Its nickname, Café, is due to coffee being one of the most important goods exported by Londrina city.

The stadium was quickly built due to Londrina Esporte Clube's invitation to dispute the 1976 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.

The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 54,178, set on February 15, 1978, when Londrina beat Corinthians 1–0.

In 2000, the stadium hosted matches of the South American Pre-Olympic Football Tournament.

In 2001, due to an electrical energy rationing in Brazil, the Brazilian Football Confederation transferred several matches to Estádio do Café, including Paulista derbies such as Santos-São Paulo and Palmeiras-Santos.
