MINEIRAO STADIUM
Mineirao hardly changed in the following decades, and in the 1990s still had its original capacity. It was in 1997 when the record attendance attendance of 132,834 was set in a match between Cruzeiro and Vila Nova.
When Brazil won their bid to host the 2014 World Cup, it was clear that Mineirao needed to undergo a large redevelopment. The project included the complete reconstruction of the bottom tier, an extension of the roof, and further refurbishments to upgrade the stadium to FIFA standards.
Building works took a total of three years, and were completed in December 2012. The first match at the reopened Mineirão was played on 3 February 2013 with a friendly derby between Atlético and Cruzeiro.
OUR TRACK RECORD
Over the last 15 years, Cruzeiro has developed players that generated over 100 Millions USD in transfer fees. Check out some of the players that were developed at Cruzeiro Academy:
