Fortaleza acquired land in the Pici neighborhood in 1957
History of Henrique C. - Viseu, Portugal
Fortaleza acquired land in the Pici neighborhood in 1957, inaugurating its stadium, Alcides Santos, in 1962. The neighborhood hosted a North American military base during World War II, having the name of Post Command (Command Post, hence the corruption Pici). Later, the neighborhood was dismembered, and the team's headquarters was located in the current Jockey Club. Ironically, the old jockey field, next to the wall, gave way to the Woman's Hospital and the North Shopping Jockey.
