Sassuolo - Fiorentina

MAPEI Stadium – Città del Tricolore, earlier called Stadio Giglio, was the first modern club-owned stadium in Italy. It got built in 1994 and officially opened on 15 April 1995 with a match between home side Reggiana and Juventus.

The stadium received a minor refurbishment in 2012, and at the same time got renamed Stadio Città del Tricolore.

In 2013, Sassuolo Calcio, newly promoted to Serie A and lacking a stadium with proper facilities in their home town, announced to have reached an agreement to make Stadio Città del Tricolore their home for the next two seasons. Sassuolo consequently decided to rename the stadium to MAPEI Stadium – Città del Tricolore.
