Team: Udinese
Capacity: 41,652
Built: 1976
City: Udine
The Stadio Friuli is a stadium with character and style. Ultra modern in its construction in 1976 it was the only venue that hosted matches in the 1990 World Cup that needed no refurbishment.
The ground was innovative for its time and has a Gym as well as athletics, fencing and martial arts facilities. Recognisable for its huge curved roof the stadium is more than equipped to host the Champions League matches that Udinese will play next term.
The atmosphere in the ground is certainly passionate when near full capacity as was seen at the end of last season when Udinese were battling for a Champions League spot. At the beginning of the season however, the average attendance was a lot less and the atmosphere can get lost somewhat despite the efforts of the Ultra groups such as the Teddy Boys.
