About this venue
Friuli is Udine’s modern football stadium and the home of Udinese Calcio—built for an up-close matchday feel, with stands set tight to the pitch and a compact bowl that intensifies the atmosphere. Following a major redevelopment in the mid-2010s, the venue gained a contemporary look and became fully seated, with a capacity of around 25,000 seats, making it a strong choice for top-level sporting events and select large-scale shows.
Inside, you can expect clear sightlines from most sections, a punchy acoustic presence, and the sense that the action stays right in front of you. Visitors often appreciate the more comfortable seating, covered areas, and practical concourse options, so it’s easy to settle in before kick-off and keep things smooth during breaks.
The micro-location is straightforward: Piazzale Repubblica Argentina, 3, Udine, Italy. Entrances are distributed around the stadium and are typically indicated on your ticket (gate), and there is on-site/nearby visitor parking to help you arrive right by the access points. For broader city transport and connections beyond the venue, refer to the Udine guide further down the page.
About the city
Udine, the elegant heart of Friuli, is not only a charming Italian city with a relaxed rhythm, but also an excellent base for top-tier sports events and concerts in the region. Visitors often choose it for its pleasant atmosphere, well-kept streets, and the feeling that everything important is “within easy reach,” from the historic center to larger event venues. On top of that, the city offers varied gastronomy and accommodation for different budgets, making it easy to combine an evening out with a genuine short city break.
Udine relies on a practical transport network that makes reaching arenas and stadiums straightforward: urban and suburban bus lines are run by Arriva Udine (the regional TPL FVG system), while the key rail hub is Stazione di Udine, supported by strong bus connections. Whether you arrive by plane via Trieste – Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport (TRS) (Ronchi dei Legionari) or via Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), the mix of trains, buses, and road routes helps you plan your arrival and return with ease, without unnecessary logistical stress.
Take the chance to stroll through the center before or after the event and soak up the city’s vibe: Piazza Libertà and Piazza San Giacomo are among the favorite spots for coffee and a short break, while Castello di Udine adds a great view and a touch of history. A walk past the Loggia del Lionello and the lanes around Via Mercatovecchio quickly becomes a pleasant ritual, and local osterias and wine bars are ideal for ending the evening—exactly how it should feel after a great match or concert.
