Stadio Olimpico

Capacity: 25,442
Pitch dimensions: 105m x 68m
Location: Turin
Torino moved into the Olimpico in 2006. Formerly the Stadio Comunale, the stadium’s first event was the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony on February 10, 2006.
The original Stadio Comunale, located in the southern district of Santa Rita, opened in 1933 and was initially named after Mussolini. It held matches in the 1934 World Cup and was used by both Juventus and Torino prior to the construction of the Stadio Delle Alpi in 1990.
The new structure has no running track in order to create a more intense atmosphere and better visibility. It also has a revolutionary pitch covering system to adapt to the conditions and 80 CCTV cameras filming the crowd in case of disturbances. |
