Stadio Centro d'Italia – Manlio Scopigno

About

The Stadio Centro d'Italia – Manlio Scopigno is a football stadium in Rieti, Italy. It is the home stadium of F.C. Rieti and has a seating capacity of 10,163. Built by Rieti's municipal government, it entered into operation in 1991 and was ultimately inaugurated in 1997, with a match between the Under-21 national teams of Italy and England. The name of the stadium (Centro d'Italia, which means "Center of Italy") recalls the tradition that indicates Rieti as the geographical center of the Italian Peninsula; since 2005 it is also named after Manlio Scopigno, a leading player in FC Rieti's golden era in Serie B.
