About this place
History of the stadium
Allianz Stadium was inaugurated in 2011 as the first club-owned stadium in modern Italian football. It replaced the Stadio delle Alpi and marked a major shift in how stadiums were designed and operated in Italy. Since its opening, it has hosted Serie A matches, European competitions and international fixtures.
Architecture and design
The stadium features a compact rectangular layout with stands positioned very close to the pitch. The design emphasizes visibility, comfort and atmosphere, with steep seating tiers and a continuous roof structure. Its modern architecture contrasts sharply with older Italian multi-purpose stadiums.
Atmosphere and matchday experience
Matchdays at Allianz Stadium offer a controlled yet intense football atmosphere. Juventus supporters are close to the action, creating constant pressure on visiting teams. The stadium’s acoustics and enclosed design help amplify crowd noise, particularly during major domestic and European matches.
Location and accessibility
The stadium is located in the northern part of Turin, within a dedicated sports and entertainment complex. It is accessible by bus and road connections, with matchday transport services operating from the city center. Parking facilities are available nearby.
Origin of the stadium name
The name Allianz Stadium comes from a naming rights agreement with Allianz, a global insurance group. The commercial name reflects the stadium’s modern business model and international partnerships.
