context_page_description: Arena Joaquim Américo Guimarães is the home stadium of Club Athletico Paranaense. It is located in Curitiba, the state capital of Paraná, Brazil. Known as Arena da Baixada, the football stadium was the first in Brazil to sell its naming rights. It was known as Kyocera Arena between 2005 and 1 April 2008. It was the first retractable roof stadium built in South America.
  With Curitiba selected as one of the host cities of World Cup 2014, the arena was rebuilt between 2012 and 2014. Its capacity was expanded to 42,372 seats.
  Located in the Água Verde near the center of Curitiba, the history of the athletic stadium began in the early twentieth century, when in 1914, Joaquim Américo Guimarães, then president of the International, led the construction of the then Arena da Baixada stadium. Athletico came into existence ten years later, inheriting the assets, including the stadium.
