History and description<\/h3>\n

Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi opened on the 15th of December 1963 with a match between Hellas Verona and Venezia.<\/p>\n

The stadium was initially uncovered and consisted of two tiers. The roof and a third tier were added in a redevelopment for the 1990 World Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n

During the World Cup, Stadio Bentegodi hosted three group matches and the round of 16 match between Yugoslavia and Spain (2-1).<\/p>\n

Until 1986, the stadium was the sole home of Hellas Verona, but they were then joined by Chievo after their promotion to the Serie C1.<\/p>\n

In the late 2000s, building works started to improve the bottom tier of the stadium, but these were never completed and the bottom tier has remained closed ever since.<\/p>\n
