The Stadio Marc'Antonio Bentegodi, inaugurated on December 15, 1963, is the main stadium in Verona, Italy. With a capacity of 39,211 spectators, it is the eighth largest stadium in the country. Currently, it is the home of Hellas Verona, a team that plays in the Italian Serie A.
This stadium has witnessed historic moments, including its participation as a venue in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, where it hosted several group stage matches and a round of 16 game. For this event, the Bentegodi was renovated, adding an additional level and a roof that covers all sections, improving visibility and public transport connections.
A notable feature of the stadium is the installation of a photovoltaic system integrated into the roof during a major renovation. This system has a capacity of nearly 1 MW and consists of over 13,000 solar panels, reflecting the stadium's commitment to sustainability and renewable energy.
In addition to football, the Bentegodi has hosted concerts and other sporting events, including rugby matches and athletics competitions. Its location, about a 20-30 minute walk from Verona's historic center, makes it a landmark for both locals and visitors looking to experience sporting passion in a city rich in history and culture.
