Stadium Information

The Stadio Renato Dall’Ara is an emblematic multi-sport stadium located in the Costa Saragozza district, in Bologna, Italy. Inaugurated in 1927 under the name of "Stadio Littoriale", it was designed by the architect Giulio Ulisse Arata and has been the home of Bologna FC 1909 since its opening. With a current capacity of around 36,000 spectators, it stands as one of the most prominent sports venues in the country. 

In 1934, it was one of the venues of the FIFA World Cup, hosting key matches of the tournament. Decades later, in 1990, it was once again in the spotlight as it was selected as one of the venues for the World Cup in Italy, where memorable matches took place, including the clash between England and Belgium in the round of 16. 

One of the most distinctive features of the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara is its imposing tower, known as the "Torre di Maratona", which has become an architectural symbol of the city. In addition to being used for football matches, the stadium has hosted concerts and other cultural events, adapting to contemporary needs without losing its historical essence. 

Currently, there are ambitious plans for the renovation and modernization of the stadium, with the aim of enhancing the spectator experience and meeting international standards. These reforms seek to preserve the historical elements of the venue while incorporating modern facilities, ensuring that the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara continues to be a key pillar in the sporting and cultural life of Bologna.
