Stadio Artemio Franchi
Stadio Artemio Franchi is the home of ACF Fiorentina. It offers a capacity of 47,282.
The stadium was constructed between 1930 and 1932, and officially opened on the 13th of September 1931 with a match between Fiorentina and Admira Wien (1-0).
The stadium was renovated in the years before the 1990 World Cup, at which it hosted three group matches and the quarter-final between Argentina and Yugoslavia (0-0).
Getting there
Stadio Artemio Franchi is located towards the north-east of Florence, about 2 kilometres or 30 minutes walking from the historic city centre.
The stadium lies only two blocks from train station Campo di Marte, which is almost solely served by regional trains though, hence changing in Florence’s main station Santa Maria Novella may be necessary.
Alternatively one can take bus 17 from Santa Maria Novella or Piazza San Marco which lies three blocks north of the Duomo.
For those arriving by car from the Milan-Napels motorway, take the exit Firenze Sud, follow the Varlungo Marco Polo viaduct toward the city, cross the bridge, and follow the signs (Stadio) to the stadium.
Address: Viale Manfredo Fanti 4, 50137 Firenze
