The stadium was first used for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the subsequent 2014 FIFA World Cup, including the 5–1 win of The Netherlands over reigning World Champions Spain.[4] It was used as one of the venues for the football competition of the 2016 Summer Olympics.[5][6]
A group of architects from Brunswick, Germany, which also redesigned the old Hanover stadium into a modern arena for the 2006 Cup, was selected after bidding.[7] In 2013, brewery Itaipava from Grupo Petrópolis bought the naming rights, turning the stadium into "Itaipava Arena Fonte Nova" under a sponsorship agreement until the year 2023, amounting to $100m. This was the first naming rights agreement signed for the 2014 World Cup stadiums.[8] After the contract ended, betting website Casa de Apostas bought the naming rights in 2024.[9]
The stadium was inaugurated on April 7, 2013, with a Campeonato Baiano game in which Vitória defeated Bahia 5–1. The first player to score a goal in the stadium was Vitória's Renato Cajá. During this match, some supporters were unable to see the game completely due to some blind spots.[10] The stadium had excessive dust and some puddles.[10] The company responsible for the stadium, owned by Grupo OAS and Odebrecht, said it was aware of the problems.[10]
On May 27, 2013, a section of the roof collapsed after heavy rain.[11]
