Stadio Nicola Ceravolo
US Catanzaro plays its home matches at Stadio Nicola Ceravolo, a historic ground located in Catanzaro, the regional capital of Calabria in southern Italy. Named after Nicola Ceravolo, a former club president who contributed significantly to Catanzaro's development in the early-mid twentieth century, the stadium has a capacity of approximately 13,336 spectators. Opened in 1932, it is one of the older continuously used football stadiums in southern Italy, and has witnessed the full arc of Catanzaro's football history — from the club's golden era in Serie A during the 1970s and 1980s to periods of decline and the more recent revival that brought them back to Serie B.
Catanzaro's most celebrated period came in the late 1970s and early 1980s when the club competed in Serie A, with the Ceravolo hosting top-flight Italian football and notable visitors. The stadium generated a vibrant atmosphere during those years, with Calabria's football-passionate community filling the stands for matches against Italy's most famous clubs. The club's Serie A record attendance at the Ceravolo reflects the fervour of that era. After a long spell in the lower divisions, Catanzaro's return to Serie B in recent seasons has reignited enthusiasm in the region, with the Ceravolo once again hosting second-tier football.
The Stadio Nicola Ceravolo has been subject to various renovation discussions over the years, as the ground requires modernisation to meet contemporary stadium standards. Improvements to seating, safety infrastructure, and facilities have been undertaken periodically, though the stadium's age presents ongoing maintenance challenges. Despite its limitations, the Ceravolo holds enormous sentimental value for Catanzaro supporters and for the wider Calabrian football community. Its continued use as a professional football ground is a testament to the enduring connection between the club, the stadium, and the people of this proud southern Italian city.
