Stadio Marcello Melani is the main stadium in Pistoia, Italy. It is primarily used for football matches and serves as the home ground of U.S. Pistoiese 1921. The stadium has a capacity of 13,195.
The Stadio Comunale di Pistoia opened on 25 June 1966 with a friendly match between Pistoiese and Vasco de Gama (1–2).
Before this, Pistoiese played at the smaller "Monteoliveto" stadium, where approximately 600 official matches were held.
On 6 December 2006, the Stadio Comunale was renamed in honor of Marcello Melani , who served as the president of Pistoiese from 1974 to 1984. Under his leadership, the club achieved its only promotion to Serie A in its history. [1]
As of the start of the 2021–22 season, two stands are operational: the Curva Sud for visiting supporters and the main (west) stand for home supporters. The Curva Nord and the east side terraced stand remain closed.
