Estádio Municipal José Batista Pereira Fernandes, known as Distrital do Inamar or Arena Inamar, is a football stadium in Diadema, São Paulo, Brazil. It has a maximum capacity of 10,000 people, and hosts the home matches of Água Santa.

History

Match between Água Santa and São Caetano in 2015

Inaugurated on 22 May 2009 to attend amateur matches of the region, the stadium only held a professional match on 27 April 2013, when Clube Atlético Diadema [pt] beat Mauaense by 5–1 in a Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão match.[1] It was named after José Batista Pereira Fernandes, a community leader in the local nearby neighbourhoods who devoted his life to the well-being of the people.[2]

The stadium saw Água Santa's meteoric rise through the tiers of the Campeonato Paulista, but never had any night matches due to the lighting structure.[3]
