Renzo Barbera Stadium

Renzo Barbera Stadium is located in Palermo, Italy, and is the home of Palermo Football Club. From time to time, the stadium is used for home matches of the Italian national team. The stadium was used for the 1996 FIFA World Cup matches in Italy.

The stadium was built in 1932. During its history, it has changed its appearance several times as a result of many reconstructions and modernizations. So, despite the presence of many plans and schemes of the stadium, it always had an oval shape and open stands. The most noticeable changes occurred in 1989, when most of the stands were seriously modernized and a roof was installed over the main stand. As a result, the capacity of the stadium has increased to 36 thousand fans. In the following years, a new lighting system and large screens were installed.

The stadium hosts football matches of the Palermo club and the Italian national team. In 1990, the stadium hosted several World Cup matches. The arena was also the venue for the 1996 World Cup matches.
