Arena Pantanal is a multi-use stadium in Cuiabá, Brazil. It has been the home ground of Campeonato Brasileiro Série B club Cuiabá Esporte Clube since 2015. Completed on 26 April 2014, it is used mostly for football and hosted four group stage matches during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.{{cite web|url=http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/news/article/-/22340876/unfinished-brazil-stadium-opens/ |title=Unfinished Brazil stadium opens |last1=Azzoni |first1=Tales |date=April 3, 2014 |website=sports.yahoo.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140407104657/http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/news/article/-/22340876/unfinished-brazil-stadium-opens/ |archive-date=April 7, 2014 }} During the World Cup, the arena had a capacity of 41,390, and currently can seat 42,788 spectators.

Prior to its use for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the venue received much criticism. It suffered a fire in October 2013, due to polystyrene insulation panels catching alight. Although nobody was injured, the fire came within 24 hours of the state governor of Mato Grosso warning that it may not be finished for the World Cup.{{cite web|last1=Tony Jimenez|first1=Andrew|title=Soccer-Cuiaba fire adds to Brazil's World Cup woes|url=https://sports.yahoo.com/news/soccer-cuiaba-fire-adds-brazils-world-cup-woes-205257620--sow.html|publisher=Yahoo|agency=Reuters|date=25 October 2013|access-date=29 June 2014}} On the day of its opening, on 24 April 2014, 5,000 seats were still to be installed in the stadium.{{cite web| url=http://www1.skysports.com/FIFA-World-Cup-2014/news/12098/9280002/world-cup-copacabana-riots-cast-further-shadow-over-brazil-2014-preparations.|title=Copacabana riots cast further shadow over Brazil 2014 preparations|publisher=Sky Sports}} Next to the stadium is the Ginásio Aecim Tocantins.
