What is stadio sant elia?

Stadio Sant'Elia is a football stadium located in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. It serves as the home stadium of Cagliari Calcio, a professional football team that competes in Serie A, the top tier of Italian football.

The stadium was opened in 1970 and was designed by architect Luigi Capogrosso. It has a seating capacity of 16,233, although it has been reduced in recent years due to safety concerns and aging infrastructure. The stadium has undergone several renovations over the years, including the addition of a cover for the main stand and the installation of a new playing surface.

Stadio Sant'Elia has hosted several important football matches, including the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final in 1993 between Parma and Royal Antwerp. It has also been used for music concerts and other events.

In recent years, there have been plans to build a new stadium in Cagliari to replace Stadio Sant'Elia. The new stadium, named Sardegna Arena, was completed in 2017 and has a seating capacity of 16,233. However, due to delays in the construction of the new stadium, Cagliari Calcio continued to play their home matches at Stadio Sant'Elia until 2020.
