Unipol Domus

Away fans are located in the corner where the Curva Sud meets the Distinti.

The stadium’s steep seating means supporters are very close to the pitch, creating an intense and lively atmosphere. Views are generally excellent, although corner positioning means your angle can be slightly restricted compared to central sections.

Facilities are modern, with clean concourses and efficient entry systems. The compact layout ensures that even smaller away followings can generate noise.

April 2026

Cagliari accelerated plans for a new stadium following key meetings with city officials and UEFA. A construction tender could be launched as early as 2026 ahead of Euro 2032.

November 2025

Approval was granted for a new stadium named after club legend Gigi Riva, ending nearly a decade of delays.

The Unipol Domus will remain in use until the new stadium is completed.

The most recognisable chant is the club anthem: “Alé Cagliari, alé Cagliari, alé Cagliari, Cagliari alé”

The Curva Nord leads most of the chanting, with rhythmic clapping and coordinated singing that echoes around the compact bowl.

For the best overall views, try central sections in the Distinti or Main Stand, or for the best atmosphere, head into the Curva Nord, which is home to the Cagliari ultras.

Lower-tier seating throughout the ground will have you closest to the pitch, although the steep design of the stands means you will have a strong sightline wherever you sit.

• Old Square is a British-style pub with a wide beer selection
• Birreria Croce del Sud is popular for craft beers and food
