Opened in 1978, the Pará Olympic Stadium, known as Mangueirão, is a cultural and identity landmark in the northern region of Brazil. Since 2017, the complex has featured Imply® access control. Following its 2023 renovation, it now meets FIFA requirements for comfort, safety, and accessibility. The renovation transformed Mangueirão into a benchmark for multicultural complexes, becoming part of the Mercosur Football Tourist Route. In a new stage of modernization, the partnership with Imply® was reaffirmed with the activation of more than 100 Imply® Facial Recognition devices. With an impressive capacity of over 50,000 fans, stadium access is now carried out through Facial Biometrics.
The Imply® Facial Recognition System has established itself as one of the most advanced solutions for access control in stadiums, arenas, and large-scale events. Developed with high-performance algorithms, the system can map and compare hundreds of unique biometric points on each face. This enables authentication in less than one second with an accuracy rate of 99.9%.
Tecnologia global para projetos de alta performance
Presente em mais de 125 países, a Imply desenvolve soluções integradas que modernizam operações e geram valor. Conte com a segurança de quem é líder em inovação para impulsionar o seu negócio.
The State Secretary of Sports and Leisure of Pará, Cássio Andrade, highlights the use of technology combined with security and convenience. “With the goal of increasing security levels and speeding up fan access to Mangueirão, the State of Pará’s Secretariat of Sports and Leisure invested in technology. We implemented the most modern Facial Recognition available. It brings more agility and convenience to fans of any home team playing at Mangueirão.”
The technology integrates natively with ticket sales platforms and club management systems. This allows facial biometric registration to be completed online. As a result, tickets become individual and non-transferable, significantly increasing security levels and reducing risks such as fraud, ticket scalping, and unauthorized access.
Technology as a Management and Modernization Strategy
More than just a technological resource, Imply® Facial Recognition represents a strategic advancement in modernizing stadium access. By using one’s own face as a credential, the entry flow becomes faster and more organized. This reduces queues and optimizes operational processes, providing a smoother experience for fans. The solution has already been implemented in large-scale projects across Latin America, integrating into high-demand environments to support the digital transformation of the sports sector.
With a focus on security, operational efficiency, and compliance with current legislation, Imply® delivers a robust platform. In addition, it is scalable and prepared to meet the demands of the leading clubs and arenas in the market.
For organizations seeking innovation in access control, crowd management, and risk prevention, Imply® Facial Recognition stands out as a competitive differentiator, setting a new standard for sports and entertainment events.
