Stadio Euganeo is a multipurpose stadium located in Padua, Italy. Primarily used for football, it is also used for athletics events, concerts, rugby league and rugby union matches. The stadium replaced the old and historically significant Appiani stadium.

From 1994 to the present, it has served as the home stadium for Calcio Padova. It has a total capacity of 32,420 spectators. [1]

Due to strict Italian laws regarding security measures for football matches, the capacity of Stadio Euganeo can be reduced to 18,060 people specifically for football events.[ citation needed ]

Stadio Euganeo also temporarily hosted Treviso for their initial matches in Serie A in the 2005–06 season, as their ground, Stadio Omobono Tenni, was deemed unfit. It also served as the temporary home for Cittadella during their first two Serie B championships in the 2000–01 and 2001–02 seasons.[ citation needed ]

By the 2010–2011 season, it was also used for the home matches of San Paolo Padova, the city's second football team, competing in Serie D.

Stadio Euganeo hosted the international rugby match between Italy and Australia on 8 November 2008, which ended with a score of 20–30 in favor of Australia. The match drew an attendance of approximately 30,000 people, likely making it the most attended rugby match in Italy at that time. [2]

On 22 November 2014, it hosted Italy's end-of-year rugby union international against South Africa, with South Africa winning with a score of 22–6.

The original Stadio Euganeo had previously hosted a rugby league international match between Italy and Australia on 23 January 1960. This match was part of the 1959-60 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France. The Kangaroos defeated the home side with a score of 37–15 in front of a modest crowd of 3,500 curious fans. [3]
