AlbinoLeffe Stadium Guide: AlbinoLeffe Stadium

AlbinoLeffe take their name from two towns in the Val Seriana, but their home is on the plain just south of Bergamo.

Drive into Zanica, pass the training pitches of the AlbinoLeffe Campus and the stadium appears behind the Academy building, a few minutes from Milan Bergamo Airport.

It is small, modern and unlike almost anything else in Serie C.

Here is everything you need to know.

What Makes It Special?

Ownership. Opened on December 21, 2021, with a league match against Pro Patria, the AlbinoLeffe Stadium was the first privately owned ground in Serie C and remains one of only a handful of club-owned stadiums in Italy.

The concept was developed by Batlleiroig, the Barcelona-based architecture firm behind the Estadi Johan Cruyff. The result is a single, English-style stand with a capacity of 1791, built alongside the club’s headquarters and training centre.

Supporters sit remarkably close to the pitch. From the lower tier you hear every tackle, every instruction from the bench and every chant.

How To Get There

The stadium is at Via Comun Nuovo 26-28 in Zanica. Travelling by car is the easiest option: Milan Bergamo Airport in Orio al Serio is less than 10 minutes away and Bergamo city centre less than 20. There is plenty of free parking around the ground.

Without a car, buses on the Bergamo-Urgnano-Crema line connect Bergamo with Zanica, stopping on Via Libertà. From there it is a 10-15-minute walk to the stadium. Check return times in advance, especially for evening kick-offs.

Neighbourhood Tips

This is not a city-centre ground, so the choice around it is limited but local. Il Barettino, inside the sports complex in nearby Comun Nuovo, is where AlbinoLeffe supporters traditionally meet before the game. Simple and unpretentious, it is the place to talk line-ups over a pre-match beer.

For something more refined, Pasticceria Morlacchi offers one of the best aperitivo settings near the stadium and is particularly popular in the late afternoon before evening kick-offs.

For a wider choice of bars and restaurants, the Oriocenter and the airport district are a short drive away.

Need To Know

The stand is divided into three sectors. The Tribuna Inferiore, where the home support gathers, is only partially covered, while the Tribuna Superiore is fully covered. That is worth keeping in mind on a wet winter afternoon. The away section sits next to the Tribuna Inferiore.

Dedicated parking spaces and seats are available for supporters with disabilities, at reduced prices. Seats must be requested in advance by contacting the club.

Tickets are issued with the name of the buyer, so bring ID.

Tickets

Tickets go on sale through Vivaticket around a week before each match, and the ticket office at the stadium opens roughly two hours before kick-off.

Prices vary by match. In the Tribuna Inferiore, full-price tickets cost between €14 and €16 and under-18 tickets between €10 and €12. In the Tribuna Superiore, they cost between €20 and €22 and between €16 and €18 respectively. Children under four pay €1.50 in both sectors.
