Stadium Information
Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani, home of Pisa, is one of Tuscany’s most atmospheric and historic football grounds. Opened in 1919 and located just north of Pisa’s city centre, the stadium lies within walking distance of the famous Leaning Tower, giving it one of the most iconic backdrops in Italian football.
The venue has been renovated several times across the past century, including significant upgrades in the 1980s and early 2000s. With a capacity of around fourteen thousand, the
stadium features a natural grass pitch and a classic rectangular layout, with stands positioned close to the field that help generate a tight, intense matchday feel. Matchdays at the Arena Garibaldi reflect Pisa’s proud footballing culture and the strong identity associated with the black‑and‑blue colours of the club. Supporters gather through the narrow streets leading toward the stadium before filling the Curva Nord, the heart of Pisa’s vocal support.
The atmosphere is passionate and often fiery, with chants echoing off the compact stands. Evening fixtures carry extra drama as the floodlights illuminate the venue against the backdrop of Pisa’s historic skyline. Although smaller than many Serie A stadiums, the ground’s character and location give it a unique charm. Transport access includes local bus routes, bicycle paths, and pedestrian routes from Pisa Centrale railway station. Parking is available in the surrounding neighbourhoods, though the city’s layout encourages walking or public transport. Accessibility provisions include step‑free entrances, ramps, wheelchair seating areas and adapted toilets, though space constraints reflect the stadium’s historic design.
The district around the stadium includes cafés, restaurants and tourist landmarks, making matchdays lively and culturally distinctive. Arena Garibaldi remains a symbol of Pisa’s footballing heritage and a stadium deeply tied to the city’s identity.
