Estádio Elzir Cabral, also known as Fortim do Ferrão, is a multi-use stadium located in Fortaleza, Brazil. It is used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of Ferroviário Atlético Clube, which own the stadium.[1] The stadium has a maximum capacity of 8,000 people and was built in 1989.

The stadium was built during the 1960s and the 1970s, after a groundplot was acquired by Ferroviário's board of directors.[3]
