Centro de Treinamento Presidente Luiz Carvalho (President Luiz Carvalho Training Centre, in English) is the sports training facility of Brazilian football club Grêmio Foot-Ball Porto Alegrense. It is located next to the club stadium, the Arena do Grêmio, in Porto Alegre, Brazil.[1] The name given to the training center is in honor of Luiz Leão de Carvalho, who played for the Grêmio between the years 1923 and 1940. Also been head coach of the team and president of the club in the years 1974/1975.[2]

This is the first official training centre of the Grêmio's first team squad, who previously was training in a field next to his old stadium, the Estádio Olímpico Monumental. The club also has another training centre, the CT Hélio Dourado, destined for the academy.
