Campobasso Stadium Guide: Stadio Antonio Molinari

The largest outdoor arena in Molise and one of the biggest in southern Italy, the Stadio Antonio Molinari is the home of Campobasso FC.

Commonly referred to as Selvapiana after the area it is located in, the ground was designed by legendary architect Costantino Rozzi and opened in 1985 for a historic Coppa Italia match where Campobasso defeated Juventus 1–0.

With its imposing concrete rings and recently refreshed Rossoblu colours, it remains a proud symbol of the city’s identity.

Here is everything you need to know.

What Makes It Special?

The stadium was built without a running track, offering an English-style close-up view of the pitch. Its architecture is nearly identical to the Stadio Ciro Vigorito in Benevento, also a Rozzi project.

Stadio Antonio Molinari is recognised for its double-ring design, which was innovative for its time. While the original capacity was 25,000, safety regulations have reduced this to around 7500.

How To Get There

The Stadio Antonio Molinari is in Contrada Selvapiana, roughly four kilometres north-west of the historic city centre. Walking from the centre takes around 45 minutes along busy roads, so it is not recommended on foot.

By car, the ground is easily accessible via the Tangenziale di Campobasso (SS751), with ample parking spaces in the large lots surrounding the sports complex.

For those relying on public transport, local urban transport company SEAC runs dedicated shuttle buses (navette) from the main Campobasso railway station directly to Selvapiana on matchdays.

Neighbourhood Tips

Bar Contado is the undisputed institution of the Selvapiana area on matchdays. Located a short distance from the stadium gates, it serves as the primary meeting point for the Rossoblu faithful hours before kick-off.

The atmosphere here is unmatched; fans spill out of the bar and into the garden to sip cold beers and enjoy a massive pre-match barbecue, which fills the air with the aroma of grilled local meats. If you want to experience the authentic matchday build-up with the locals of Campobasso before heading into the ground, this is the only place to be.

Need To Know

The heartbeat of Campobasso’s support resides in the Curva Nord, which has officially been named the Curva Nord Michele Scorrano in honour of the club’s legendary captain from the 1970s and 1980s. Away supporters are accommodated in the designated section of the Curva Sud.

The stadium has undergone several name changes due to sponsorship arrangements (previously known as the Avicor Stadium and later the Axum Stadium), but it remains officially dedicated to the historic club president Antonio Molinari.

Tickets

The ticketing offices and collection booths are located outside the main gates of the Tribuna. All the information on how and when to buy tickets for Campobasso FC matches can be found in our comprehensive ticket guide.
