Arezzo Stadium Guide: Stadio Citta di Arezzo

They say good things come to those who wait and this is certainly true for Arezzo fans.

The Stadio Citta di Arezzo was completed in stages. First opened in 1961 with only two stands, the Curva Nord wasn’t officially opened until four years later.

It remained with only three sides completed for a further 17 years, until the Curva Sud was finally built and opened to the public for the first time in a match against Foggia in September 1982.

It initially housed an athletics track but that disappeared as over the years more stands were built and brought closer to the pitch.

In late 2024 the club announced it was intending to make full use of the Stadium Law, designed to speed up the creation of new stadiums, by completely renovating their ground to the tune of €30million.

With promotion to Serie B confirmed, they are accelerating their plans, with work expected to begin either at the end of this year or the beginning of next.

Here’s everything you need to know.

What Makes It Special?

The ground underwent minor cosmetic changes in 1992 ahead of a visit from Pope John Paul II, who came to the region and performed a Mass inside the stadium on the final day of his tour in September.

The stadium is part of a multi-sport complex – called the ‘Sport Citadel’ – which also includes a swimming pool, rugby, futsal and baseball pitches in addition to Enzo Tenti athletics stadium.

But the main thing is the fans’ proximity to the pitch due to the absence of the running track. They create a real wall of noise.

How To Get There

Located south-east of the city centre, reaching the Citta di Arezzo is fairly easy, a brisk half-hour walk from Piazza Grande.

Or you can take a bus from Arezzo G. Monaco in the centre of town, with number SI381 heading in the direction of the stadium.

You can also take the bus from Arezzo train station close to the ground.

Neighbourhood Tips

Bar Stadio, located close to the ground, is the place to be before games. It is small but the atmosphere hives with activity as fans enjoy bottles of beer and sing their songs.

Arezzo has a museum – Museo Amaranto, dedicated to the club’s history, in the stadium. However, it’s only open from 10am to 12pm on Sundays.

Dal Fantasista is a pizza restaurant close to the stadium, serving quality food at good prices. It’s the ideal spot to refuel before going into the ground.

Need To Know

Arezzo’s ultras sit in the Curva Sud, while the opposite end is for away fans. The grandstand is the only one in the stadium that is covered.
