Pescara municipality and Pescara Calcio stadium disputes

Overview

The Municipality of Pescara and the football club Pescara Calcio are engaged in a series of disputes regarding the management and costs of the Stadio Adriatico–Giovanni Cornacchia.

Initially, Mayor Carlo Masci defended a rent increase for the club, raising the cost per Serie C match from approximately €4,000 to €9,000. The Mayor stated the increase was necessary to offset municipal costs of roughly €22,000 per match and to fund public investments, including repairs to the north tribune and stadium upgrades.

Following these financial tensions, a secondary dispute emerged regarding accessibility for disabled fans. The Municipality announced it would take direct responsibility for providing chemical toilets for disabled supporters after a breakdown in communication. The city claimed the club failed to provide necessary services, while Pescara Calcio argued that municipal authorization delays during the Ferragosto holiday period prevented them from securing suppliers.
