Italian football stadium infrastructure projects

Italian football clubs and local municipalities are advancing various stadium renovation and expansion projects to improve facilities.

In Cosenza, efforts are underway to renovate the Bergamini curve at the Marulla stadium to facilitate the club’s return to its home ground. Meanwhile, Empoli has submitted a feasibility project for the Carlo Castellani stadium, estimated at 55 to 60 million euros, which aims to create a football-specific venue by removing the athletics track and rebuilding three sectors.

Other regional developments include the reopening of the Stadio Marco Lorenzon in Rende, which has been restructured with PNRR funding to accommodate over 1,500 spectators. Additionally, the Rubens Fadini stadium in Giulianova has received approval for a 250,000 euro expansion to add 700 seats to its western sector, following successful fire safety assessments.

Recent updates indicate significant challenges at the Nicola Ceravolo stadium in Catanzaro. General Manager Nicola Bignotti reported that delays in completing the Curva Ovest have caused a loss of approximately one million euros in ticket and subscription revenue, forcing the club to play home matches away from the city. While Mayor Nicola Fiorita intends to complete the sector foundations by late November, the club has called for greater clarity regarding missed deadlines. The facility is also awaiting a Lega Serie B inspection to verify television visibility standards.

In another development, Cavese football club announced the removal of anti-launch nets at the Simonetta Lamberti stadium following approval from the Salerno Prefecture, a change marking a transition after twenty years.
