Stadio Centro d'Italia – Manlio Scopigno, Football stadium in Rieti, Italy
Stadio Centro d'Italia – Manlio Scopigno is a football stadium in Rieti, Italy. It consists of a main pitch surrounded by covered stands on both sides, with a running track and a curved north end.
The stadium opened in the early 1990s to replace Rieti's older ground. It was later named after Manlio Scopigno, a local coach who led Cagliari to the Italian title in 1970.
On match days, the stadium fills with local supporters who gather in the north curve, known as the Curva Nord, to sing and wave flags. The rest of the time, the ground is used by youth teams and runners training on the track.
The stadium is on the northern edge of Rieti, a short drive from the center, with parking available near the ground. Access is through gates on the west side, and the site is mostly flat, making it easy to walk around.
The running track around the pitch is unusual for a football ground of this size, and it means spectators sit farther from the action. The stadium also hosts athletics meetings, and the track is open to local runners on weekdays.
