Arena da Amazônia in Manaus was designed by the German firm Gerkan, Marg and Partners, abbreviated gmp, and the article names no individual architect. Andrade Gutierrez built it for the Amazonas State Government. Costs were split 25 percent state and 75 percent Brazilian Development Bank. It was built from 2010 to 2014 and opened on March 9, 2014, at a cost of 605 million reais. The article names no architectural style.

The metallic exterior is white and reflective, with many ventilation openings, and is meant to evoke regional straw baskets. The design draws on the Amazon rainforest. It has 68 executive suites, natural ventilation, rainwater recycling and shaded seating. More than 95 percent of the old stadium's demolition material was recycled.

Capacity is 42,924, with a 344 by 223 foot (105 by 68 m) pitch. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
