Empoli

Empoli FC plays at Stadio Carlo Castellani, named after a former club captain who died fighting in World War II. Located in Empoli, a town in the Tuscany region of central Italy between Florence and Pisa, the stadium has a current capacity of 16,284 spectators and has undergone significant modernisation in recent years. With corporate sponsorship from computer component manufacturer Empoli, the stadium officially carries the designation Carlo Castellani Computer Gross Arena. The ground occupies a central position in the town and has been Empoli's home for their entire history at professional level in Italian football.

Empoli has used the Castellani as a springboard for several surprising Serie A campaigns, becoming known across Italian football as a club that consistently punches above its weight against far wealthier opposition. During their various Serie A stints, the stadium has hosted some remarkable encounters, with Empoli earning famous results against clubs like Juventus, Milan, and Napoli. The club's development of talented young players and its intelligent coaching appointments have made it a respected institution, and the Castellani has been witness to many moments that have generated national pride in the Empoli project.

The stadium has undergone multiple renovation phases to keep it competitive with other Serie A and Serie B grounds. Works have included new seating, improved hospitality facilities, and pitch upgrades. The Castellani's relatively modern infrastructure, combined with Empoli's excellent track record of developing talent and maintaining financial stability, makes it one of the more professionally managed small-club stadiums in Italian football. As Empoli continues to navigate between Serie A and Serie B, the Carlo Castellani remains a well-regarded venue where quality football is consistently served to the loyal supporters of the Azurri di Toscana.
