Estádio Marcelo Leitão

Espargos opened the island's second football field in the 1960s and the clubs played at that field. The stadium was completed in the 1980s. A huge growing population throughout Sal including the capital led to the construction of a newer stadium in the eastern limits of Morro Curral in 2001 and the newer started expanded on March 10, 2003. In early November 2005, the stadium became the second on the island to have an artificial turf.[1] The stadium became illuminated in 2008. A track and field was completed on April 5, 2010.[2]

ENE of Espargos and north of the subdivision of Pretoria, is another small football field named Patina used for youth competitions, it was built in the late 2000s and demolished in 2015. After its demolished, it was improved and added a new football field with seats and was opened in 2016. Second Division matches of the island may recently have started playing at the field.
