History and description
Stadio Alberto Braglia opened on 11 October 1936 with a match between Modena and Cremonese (0-0).
The stadium was first named after Cesare Marzari, an ex-player who had died in the African War, but was renamed after the Second World War in honour of three-time Olympic gold medal winner Alberto Braglia, child of the city.
Hardly any changes were made to the stadium until the turn of the millennium when an extensive redevelopment program was presented.
Works started with the rebuilding of one of the ends, followed by the removal of the running tracks, the construction of additional rows of seating closer to the pitch, and the renovation of the other three stands.
The third stage of the works, completed in 2006, included the installation of a roof. A few further upgrades in the following year completed the project.
Stadio Alberto Braglia was between 2008 and 2013 the home of Sassuolo Calcio as they lacked proper facilities in their home town. In 2013, after Sassuolo promoted to Serie A, they moved to Reggio Emilia to play at MAPEI Stadium – Città del Tricolore.
In 2015, Carpi used the stadium as their home during their one Serie A season as their own home, Stadio Sandro Cabassi, did not meet league standards.
How to get to Stadio Alberto Braglia
Stadio Alberto Braglia is located in the centre of Modena, right next to the railway station and at a few minutes walking from the historic city centre.

We received the following information from Giorgio Pin:
“… Also went to Sassuolo who will more than likely be a Serie A team next season. They sell tickets from a ticket office across the road from the stadium before ko. Don’t know if this office is open non match days. I actually obtained my ticket from a branch of the Banco Popolare Emilio Romagna or something like that. Info available from their website.”
