Estádio Moça Bonita is owned by Fábrica Bangu. It hosts the games of Bangu Atlético Clube and Clube Atlético Castelo Branco. The stadium is named after Guilherme da Silveira Filho, who was Bangu's president during the stadium construction. The nickname Moça Bonita means Pretty Girl.
In 1947, the works on Moça Bonita were completed. It was inaugurated on November 17 of that year, but the inaugural match was played only on December 12, when Flamengo beat Bangu 4–2. The first goal of the stadium was scored by Flamengo's Joel Rezende.
The stadium's attendance record currently stands at 17,000, set on July 3, 1948 when Bangu and Fluminense drew 1-1.
On April 20, 1980, Palmeiras beat Bangu 1–0. The match's attendance was 16,779 people, much higher than the current capacity.
