Plans have been revealed for the redevelopment of the Arezzo City Stadium in Italy with the construction of new spectator stands.

Architect M28 Studio said the new stadium will serve as a landmark not only for sporting events, but also for entertainment events and daily activities, contributing to the development of the surrounding area.

The project for the new Arezzo stadium is the first in Italy to be entirely designed according to the updates of the new 2021 stadium law.

It will become the home of Società Sportiva Arezzo, an Italian football club based in Arezzo, Tuscany. The club was formed in 1923 and currently plays in Serie C, the third tier of Italian football.

The expected capacity is 12,506 seats, all covered, with an overall estimated cost of approximately €28 million, entirely borne by the Amaranto company, with completion of the works scheduled for 2030.

The new venue will be built on the site of the current City of Arezzo Stadium, which was originally opened in 1961.

The demolition and reconstruction of the two curves and the Maratona Stand are planned, while the central stand will be subject to redevelopment.

Construction will be carried out in three phases, with the central stand remaining in use during the works, allowing home games to be played and for fans to continue to support the team.

The new structures will be designed according to the most modern standards of sustainability and urban integration, with significant clean energy production.

The complex also includes the construction of commercial spaces and offices, as well as large green spaces and areas for the community.

The stadium will be an innovative structure that, while respecting tradition, is proposed as the new linchpin of the city’s sports district.

The president of Lega Serie C, Matteo Marani, said, “Arezzo, thanks to its ownership, has fully understood what we are trying to achieve as a League. With this project, the club shows that it is in step with the times, setting itself the goal of becoming a point of reference for the city and for the fans.

“Investing in infrastructure means generating value, attractiveness and creating the ideal conditions for the development of footballers and the growth of young people. This is certainly the right path to follow. Congratulations to the Manzo family.”

Arezzo Mayor Alessandro Ghinelli added, “This is an important intervention destined to change the face of that part of the city both from an urban planning and aesthetic point of view. A new stadium undoubtedly represents a work of notable impact intended to qualify the entire area with a modern and cutting-edge sports facility.”
