MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore
AC Reggiana 1919 plays at Stadio Città del Tricolore, a modern stadium located in Reggio Emilia, a prosperous city in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy. The stadium, which opened in 1995, has a capacity of 25,148 spectators and was built as part of Reggio Emilia's successful bid to host matches during the 1990 FIFA World Cup — the ground hosted group stage fixtures during Italia 90. The name "Città del Tricolore" (City of the Tricolour) reflects Reggio Emilia's historic significance as the place where the Italian tricolour flag was first adopted in 1797, giving the stadium a patriotic resonance beyond its football function.
The Città del Tricolore is shared between AC Reggiana and Sassuolo FC, though Sassuolo have primarily used their own home ground at the Mapei Stadium Città del Tricolore (confusingly, a different stadium in the same city). Reggiana's history includes periods in Serie A during the 1990s, when the stadium hosted top-flight Italian football with considerable local enthusiasm. The club's more recent return to Serie B after extended spells in the lower divisions has reawakened the city's football community, and the ground has once again become a venue for professional second-tier Italian football.
The stadium's World Cup heritage and its location in one of Italy's most economically dynamic cities give it a certain prestige beyond what Reggiana's current league status might suggest. Reggio Emilia is home to several major industrial groups and has a strong tradition of civic engagement with culture and sport. The Città del Tricolore, with its modern facilities and meaningful name, serves as an appropriate home for a club working its way back through the Italian football pyramid while drawing on the pride of a city that contributed something enduring to Italian national identity.
