Stadium Information

The Stadio Carlo Castellani, opened on September 12, 1965, is the home of Empoli F.C., located in Empoli, Italy. With a capacity for 16,284 spectators, the stadium is named after Carlo Castellani, a prominent local footballer who died during World War II at the Gusen concentration camp.

The stadium consists of two main stands and two curves, and is equipped with a running track that surrounds the playing field. In 2024, during the Serie A opening match against Monza, the state of the pitch was criticized due to its poor condition, leading the club to publicly apologize and commit to improving the conditions for future matches.

In addition to hosting Empoli F.C. matches, Stadio Carlo Castellani has been a venue for sporting and cultural events, establishing itself as a point of reference in the local community. Its location in the sports district of Empoli, on Viale delle Olimpiadi, makes it a hub for sports fans in the region.

A noteworthy curiosity is that, despite its modest capacity compared to other Italian stadiums, Carlo Castellani has maintained an intimate and welcoming atmosphere, offering fans a close-to-the-action experience and fostering a strong sense of community among Empoli F.C. supporters.
