Stadium Information
Mapei Stadium – Città del Tricolore, home of Sassuolo, is a modern and functional football venue located in Reggio Emilia. Opened in 1995 as Stadio Giglio, it was one of the first Italian stadiums built with contemporary standards in mind, featuring a rectangular, football‑specific layout without an athletics track. After Sassuolo’s rise to Serie A, the club purchased the venue in collaboration with the Mapei Group, leading to upgrades in seating, facilities and training areas as well as a full rebranding.
With a capacity of just over twenty‑one thousand, the stadium offers a natural grass pitch and a clean, modern bowl designed for visibility and comfort. Matchdays for Sassuolo carry a community‑driven atmosphere supported by fans from Reggio Emilia and the wider Emilia‑Romagna region. Supporters gather in the surrounding shopping and commercial areas before
entering the stadium through wide plazas and dedicated walkways. Inside, the acoustics are lively despite the venue’s modest size, with the home curve providing most of the organised support. The concourses offer an efficient layout with food kiosks, cafés and updated facilities that reflect the club’s modern and ambitious identity. Evening matches highlight the stadium’s clean lines and contemporary lighting design. Access to Mapei Stadium is straightforward thanks to nearby highways, bus routes and the Reggio Emilia AV high‑speed rail station located a short drive away.
Parking zones surround the venue, offering good capacity for fans travelling by car. Accessibility features include step‑free entrances, ramps, elevators, wheelchair seating and adapted toilets. The surrounding district includes commercial centres, hotels and dining options that contribute to a well‑organised matchday experience. For Sassuolo, Mapei Stadium represents modernity, stability and the remarkable rise of a club that has cemented itself within the top flight of Italian football.
