Stadio Artemio Franchi is a multi-purpose stadium in Siena, Italy. It is currently used mostly for football matches and the home of A.C.N. Siena. It was built in 1923 and holds 15,373.[1]
It is named after former Italian Football Federation president Artemio Franchi.
In summer 2007, A.C. Siena agreed to rename the stadium 'Stadio Artemio Franchi – Montepaschi Arena', to include the name of their main sponsor, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena.[1]
The stadium hosted its first and so far only international match on 17 October 2010, a 2–0 friendly win for Italy over South Africa.[2]
During March 2011, A.C. Siena announced plans to build a new stadium on the southern outskirts of the city at Isola d'Arbia. The new stadium, with a capacity of 20,000, features a revolutionary below-ground design which was honoured with an MIPIM AR Future Projects Award.[3]
