The Canecão was an indoor arena located in Botafogo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The venue opened in 1967 and was capable of functioning alternatively either as a dance floor or a concert hall (seating capacity: 2000). Prior to its demolition in 2019, it had been closed since 2010 due to legal quarrels over its ownership.
