and they just reelected gravina

Really shows the stagnation. These are the same stadiums - brick for brick - that were in Italia 90. FIGC thinking the same buildings with no changes will be good enough 42 years later.

I don't LIKE what and how much had changed since then and tbh I love the retro feel of Italian stadia but come on its time to catch up a little.

Once few of those stadiums get renovated, ours might not even host any of the games. Each country can select 5 venues. The capacity of 41k is absurdly low for major tournaments. We need at least 10-15k expansion. What a stupid decision to build a small stadium in the first place.

It'll easily host groups games but KOs depends on what other stadiums there are. Some recent tournaments:

Italy and Turkey will have to choose 5 stadiums each. Stadiums in Milan, Rome and Naples will definitely get selected. Our competitions are in Florenze, Artemio Franchi is under renovation and Bari, stadium with much higher capacity but depends if it gets some work done in time. I can easily see our stadium gets left out. Not that I care in particular but I would like Juve to have a bigger venue regardless. 50k should have been a bare minimum for us.

I'd be amazed if Bari's decrepit stadium gets touched at all. I think Milan, Naples, Rome, Naples and Turin is a fair representation of Italy in terms of geography and population centres.

I'd actually forgotten about the 5 each so that is a fair point, does make it less likely. For me it'd be stupid to not include Turin but we'll see.

Tiny Arena was a mistake.
