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.

How to get to MAPEI Stadium

MAPEI Stadium – Città del Tricolore is located on the north-eastern edge of the city of Reggio Emilia at about 2.5 kilometres from its historic centre. The distance from the train station, located east of the centre, is slightly shorter.

Take the bus in the direction of Mancasale Fiera and get off at stop Via Duo. Bus 5 runs through Reggio Emilia’s historic centre as well.

If arriving by car from the A1, leave at exit Reggio Emilia. Pass the toll booth and turn onto the subsequent roundabout. Take the second exit following the little football symbol and sign Stadio. Keep following similar signs to get to the stadium.
