Stadio Friuli
Stadium Football stadium in Udine, home of Udinese Calcio
In Udine, Stadio Friuli (Dacia Arena) serves as the home ground for Udinese Calcio; match days draw local supporters and regional visitors into Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Stadio Friuli is the principal football stadium in Udine, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, historically the home ground of Udinese Calcio. The arena was extensively redeveloped and modernised in the 2010s and continues to serve as the club’s match venue.
The redevelopment updated spectator facilities, corporate areas and stands to contemporary standards while retaining the stadium’s role as a local sporting centre. It hosts Serie A fixtures and other events tied to the club’s schedule.
The original stadium dates from the latter part of the 20th century; the recent reconstruction focused on improving sightlines and amenities and on creating a compact, all-seated bowl.
Located in the northern Italian city of Udine, the stadium sits close to the urban area and is accessible from the city by local roads and public transport links.
- Redevelopment and naming: Extensively redeveloped and reopened in a modernised form in 2016; commercial naming rights since redevelopment mean it is commonly known by its sponsored name.
Tips for Visiting Stadio Friuli #
- Arrive 45-60 minutes before kick-off to clear security and concession lines and to soak up the pre-match atmosphere without last-minute queues.
- Buy tickets in advance from Udinese Calcio's official channels to avoid scalpers and to ensure seat choice; on matchday box offices can sell out for big fixtures.
- Use public transport to Udine (train to Udine station plus a short bus or taxi) rather than driving - local parking around the stadium fills quickly on matchdays.
- If you prefer a lively, vocal experience sit in one of the curvae (the end stands); choose a central tribuna if you want a quieter, more family-friendly viewing area.
