Estádio Rei Pelé is owned by the Government of Alagoas and it is the stadium where CRB (Clube de Regatas Brasil) and CSA (Centro Sportivo Alagoano) play their home matches. The stadium is named after the footballer Pelé (1940–2022), and its name means King Pelé. The stadium is nicknamed Trapichão because it is located in Trapiche da Barra neighborhood.
